The philanthropic behavior of the Romanian Diaspora. A comparative analysis of the giving of the Romanian communities living in the US, UK, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and Spain. Contact & Registration

This study explores how Romanians living in six key countries engage in philanthropy, revealing high donation rates and strong ties to both host and home communities. With average yearly contributions far exceeding those in Romania, diaspora donors favor NGOs, act from trust and moral duty, and often support causes both locally and back home. Transparency and impact matter most, while long-term residence abroad shifts giving more toward local causes.
