It highlighted Glasgow's high level of generosity and active fundraising, with 35 per cent of residents having fundraised in the past year or intending to do so in 2025.
Amongst Glaswegians' most popular fundraising activities were photoshoots, bake sales, and sports matches.
The survey also shed light on the types of charities Glasgow residents are most likely to support.
A significant 31 per cent of residents are inclined to donate to pets and animals, and food bank charities, with a growing trend towards local charities.
The research revealed that 35 per cent of people donate to a local cause or charity, driven by a motivation to give back to their communities or support personal causes.
Glasgow residents are increasingly drawn to causes they feel emotionally connected to, with many citing personal experiences or connections as key motivators for their generosity.
While Glaswegians have shown great pride in helping local causes, many also look beyond the region to contribute to national initiatives.
This is reflected in the survey results, with 33 per cent feeling responsible for their country and 35 per cent feeling connected to the nation as a whole.
30 per cent of respondents reported feeling that national causes are better reflected in the media, which in turn encourages more engagement.
Another major influence for Glasgow's charitable donations is celebrity influence, with public figures raising people's awareness of various causes.
People's personal idols have encouraged their fundraising, with Cristiano Ronaldo topping the list of public figures inspiring people to give.
