The article studied the willingness of students in both Poland and Lithuania to participate in charitable activities, ie. the way in which they could help third par- ties, the frequency of participation in charity events and the reasons for why support for charities is given. Th e entity of the research, were fi rst-year students studying at Faculty of Economics and Management University of Szczecin in Poland and at the Faculty of Politics and Management at the Mykolas Romeris University in Vilnius in Lithuania. Th e aim of the article was to evaluate the willingness of students in Poland and Lithuania to participate in charitable activities, and to exam ine, using statistical analysis, what the average monthly household income per capita had on their impact to participate. Th e analysis indicated, that from both countries surveyed the respond- ents were reluctant to help a third party, and if they did do it, they did it mainly as a result of recommendations by a trusted entity. Besides, it has been indicated that other factors infl uence the willingness to participate in charitable activities in Poland and Lithuania, and that it is not income.
