PHOENIX — When it comes to charitable donations, Arizona reportedly ranks pretty low on the national list.

According to a Gallup poll, Arizona ranked 45th for charitable giving.

While 60 percent of Arizonans donate money on an annual basis, just 35 percent will actually volunteer time. About 26 percent of respondents said they donate both money and time.

Overall, the state that gives the most is Utah, with 71 percent donating money, 56 percent volunteering time and 48 percent doing both.

Utah was followed by Minnesota, Hawaii, South Dakota and New Hampshire, respectively.

The poll was conducted from June to December 2013 and used the response of 600 males older than 18.
