Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the following questions.
What makes people give money to charity? One reason is altruism, the unselfish desire to help other people and
make the world a better place. For example, religious institutions receive the highest percentage of donations in the
United States. Colleges and universities often receive gifts from successful graduates who want to widen educational
opportunities for other students or support research on an issue they feel is important. Hospital and medical research
organizations are often supported by donors who have been affected by a medical problem, either directly or through
the experience of family members or friends. Many donors give the causes that have touched them personally in some
way.
Charitable gifts can also be made for reasons involving personal interest. Under U.S tax law, an individual does not
have to pay income tax on money that is donated to charity. For extremely wealthy individuals, this can mean millions
of dollars they do not have to pay in taxes to the government. In addition to tax benefits, donors often receive favorable
publicity for making donations, and they have an opportunity to influence the world around them. For instance, new
buildings at colleges and universities are often named after important donors, which means that they will be
remembered for their generosity for many years to come.
