The bar chart illustrates the financial contributions made by a company to six distinct charitable categories between 2012 and 2014.
Overall, there was an upward trend in the amount of money donated to social welfare, health, wildlife and arts, while the figure for education and environment remained unchanged and declined slightly, respectively. In addition, the financial contributions to social welfare constantly received the highest funding during the whole period.
Starting at nearly $23 thousand, the amount of money contributed by a company to social welfare was three times higher than that of education and environment, at approximately $8 thousand each. However, in the next year, social welfare witnessed a decrease to $18 thousand before reaching the highest donation of about $24 thousand in 2014. The figures for education and environment followed a similar pattern trend, as their figures dropped marginally in 2013 and then rose to $8 thousand and $7 thousand, respectively.
In 2012, donations to health stood at $6 thousand, which was twice as great as that of wildlife and arts, at $3 thousand, and then there was a gradual increase to $7 thousand and $9 in the amount of money given to health in the final year. Meanwhile, the figure for wildlife rose slightly to $4 thousand, with a subsequent increase to $5 thousand in the final year. By contrast, the figure for arts remained stable at $3 thousand in 2013, which was followed by a steady climb to $4 thousand in 2014.
