Among the 200 cities surveyed, Raleigh ranked 5th on the list of where Americans give the most to charity. By comparison, Durham ranked inside of the top 10 as well, grabbing the number 9 spot.

SmartAsset had this to say about Raleigh:

Charitable contributions consist of approximately 2.66% of income in the Raleigh metro area, and the average charitable contribution amount is $6,398. On the statewide level, 35.10% of North Carolina’s residents donate their time to volunteering.”

“The Durham-Chapel Hill metro area, another North Carolina representative in the top 10, has a top-25 rate for its percentage of tax returns reporting charitable donations, at 30.84%. The average charitable donation there is $6,052, which ranks in the top half of the study.
