Donations by Politicians (Continued)

Yesterday, Rick Santorum released his tax returns which give us a picture of his charitable giving over the past 4 years. Those documents show that he and his wife gave between $13,000 and $30,000 to charity each year. That amounts to 1.76% (in 2010) to 2.67% (in 2009) of their Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). Their tax returns did not disclose the names of the charities that they supported.

Read our previous blog posts to see how Santorum’s giving compares to President Obama’s giving and the other GOP candidates’ giving.
