2. Respondents who did not provide this information are excluded from calculations. For this reason. the sum of annual donations by category does not add to the national total.
3. Pre-school aged is defined as ages 0 to 5, while school aged is defined as ages 6 to 17. Both pre-school and school aged
children indicates the presence in the household of at least one child from each age range (i.e., at least one child aged 0 to 5 and at least one child aged 6 to 17).
