LOGAN — Utahns continue to lead the nation in generosity, according to WalletHub’s 2026 report on the Most Charitable States . The Beehive State ranks second overall—behind only Wyoming—thanks to residents’ top marks for both volunteerism and charitable giving.
Utah claimed first place in volunteer rate, volunteer hours per capita, donated income, and the percentage of residents who donated time. More than 47% of Utahns volunteer each year, averaging more than 46 hours annually, and roughly 68% report doing favors for neighbors, from babysitting to lending tools.
Families in Utah also donate about 3.5% of their adjusted gross income—second-highest in the country—and rank third nationally for the percentage of taxpayers contributing financially to charitable causes.
