Wealthy plan to give more

Wealthy people plan to increase their philanthropy to the levels at which they were giving before the recession, a new survey says.

Forty-eight percent of the ultra-wealthy, or those with $5 million or more in investible assets, plan to give more this year, as do 38 percent of those with $1 million to just under $5 million, and 38 percent of those with $500,000 to just under $1 million, according to the 7th annual Wealth and Values Survey Investors' Outlook from PNC Wealth Management.
