There's some discussion, including numbers and graphs, here. Fraction of self-reported EAs self-reporting as donating zero (this was in an LW survey) varies from ~13% to ~43% depending on age. (Younger people are more likely to report donating nothing, especially the under-20 category which is presumably full of impoverished students.)

Would be curious to see the difference between donations and volunteering - statistics show that young people tend to volunteer more. Do you know of any information on EA volunteering?

No. Sorry.
