The bar chart illustrates the amount of money a company donated to six charitable organizations namely social welfare, health, education, environment, wildlife, and arts over three consecutive years from 2012 to 2014.
Overall, donations to social welfare, health, wildlife, and arts increased steadily over the period, while contributions to education and the environment varied between relative stability and falling trends. Social welfare consistently received the highest funding, whereas arts remained the least funded category throughout.
In 2012, social welfare dominated the company’s charity spending, with $23 thousand allocated, nearly triple the amount donated to education and environment, at approximately $8 thousand each. Health received $6 thousand, while wildlife and arts received under $4 thousand, making them the least funded sectors at the beginning of the period.
By 2013, donations given to social welfare had declined significantly, reaching $20 million, before rebounding to $24 million in the final year, maintaining its dominance as the top-funded sector. Education and environment also mirrored this trend, as their respective figures dropped in 2013 but later recovered to 8 thousand and 7 thousand dollars by 2014. Meanwhile, donations to health and wildlife grew steadily throughout the period, with health reaching $9 thousand and wildlife rising to $5 thousand by 2014. Contributions to arts showed a more modest increase, growing slightly to $4 thousand, maintaining its position as the least funded sector.
