This article describes the model used in Giving USA 2002 to estimate charitable deduc- tions in 2001 and explains the criteria by which that model was selected. The article also presents a systematic comparison of this model to others previously used in Giving USA. During the 1990s, the most recent period for which an evaluation of the models is possible, the three most recent Giving USA models would have performed well. However, of these, the model presented herein would have provided somewhat more accurate estimates.
