When it comes to charitable giving, Oklahoma ranks in the top 10 among all states, according to a new study by the personal finance website Wallethub.
Oklahoma was the only state in the HPPR listening area to make the top 10, though Kansas was close behind at number 12.
Nebraska landed at number 20, and Colorado just missed making the top half of states, with an appearance at number 26 on the list.
Texas fell near the bottom of the rankings, landing at number 45. Utah and Maryland were found to have the most charitable residents, while Hawaii has the least charitable.
Oklahoma’s top 10 showing is particularly surprising given the rampant economic woes in the state, though it was the pervasiveness of public service and volunteering that pushed the Sooner State higher on the list.
