LIST: California ranked in bottom 10 of charitable states

KTLA says - California is known for a lot of things, but according to a new study, philanthropy is not one of them.

While several individuals, companies and organizations in California have a strong mission to give back, a study conducted by WalletHub revealed that Californians were less likely to roll up their sleeves and volunteer or make monetary donations compared to residents in other states.

At the top of the list were:

1. Utah
