Here’s your daily stimulus check, your third stimulus check, your fourth stimulus check, executive actions, executive orders, and stimulus package update for Saturday, April 3rd, 2021.
Despite the economic turmoil of 2020, donations to charity soared and stimulus checks appear to have played at least a small role in the increase.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Household Pulse surveys, “An estimated 11 million to 13 million Americans gave away their stimulus money or planned to do so in 2020, either by donating it charity or giving it to family members.”
The census conducted between March 3 and March 15th included some 4.2 million people or 5% of those who had received stimulus checks in the previous seven days said they had given the money to a charity or family member.
The Census surveys didn’t ask people to specify whether they were giving away all of their checks or part of it.
