It's mostly the non-EAers who give $0, it seems. Removing those datapoints would diminish the difference between groups and make EAers look worse than they are - we care about how much total was given, not a random dichotomization like $0 vs non-$0.
Glancing at the data, it looks like the median EA at several ages gives 0 as well as the median non-EA. You might want to separate the 0 set from everything else and then answer two questions:
what percentage of EAs/non-EAs donate any money when they give, how much do EAs give, how much do non-EAs give.
I think this makes more sense then what is happening now- the lines don't seem to fit the data very well.
