The bar chart illustrates the financial contributions made by a company to six distinct categories of charities from 2012 to 2014.
Overall, social welfare received the highest donations in all three years, while most other categories experienced an increase. However, environmental charities saw a decline, and education remained relatively stable.
In 2012, the company donated $22,000 to social welfare, the largest amount among all categories. Although this figure dropped to $15,000 in 2013, it recovered to nearly $25,000 in 2014. Donations for healthcare and wildlife charities started at $6,000 and $3,000, respectively, and both increased steadily each year. Funding for arts charities remained at $3,000 for the first two years before rising to $4,500 in 2014.
On the other hand, education charities saw a decrease from $8,000 in 2012 to $6,000 in 2013, before returning to the original amount. Meanwhile, environmental charities started at $8,000, declined to $5,000 in 2013, and then rose slightly to $7,000 by the end of the period.
