RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina residents are giving more money to charities these days, but the money isn’t going as far as it used to, an annual state report showed.
Secretary of State Elaine Marshall unveiled her yearly report Monday on how most licensed charities in the state raise and use the money they’re given.

“We want the public to give generously, but wisely,” Marshall said. “As I like to say, check before you write one to be sure you’re making an informed decision with your donation.”
North Carolinians donated $58 million from July 2022 through June 2023, the report found. It’s an 18% increase over last fiscal year’s total of about $47.5 million raised.
