Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

SAMPLE ANSWER
The bar chart illustrates the amount of money (in thousands of dollars) donated by a single company to six different charitable sectors over a period from 2012 to 2014.
Overall, the company consistently contributed the most to Social Welfare, while Arts and Wildlife received the least funding throughout the three years. Most categories saw a gradual increase or remained relatively stable.
In 2012, the highest donation was made to Social Welfare (approximately 23,000 dollars), which slightly dropped in 2013 but rose again in 2014 to around 25,000. Donations to Education and Environment remained stable at about 7,000–8,000 dollars, with minor fluctuations. Health saw a steady increase from 6,000 in 2012 to 10,000 in 2014, making it the second-highest by the end of the period.
Smaller amounts were allocated to Wildlife and Arts, both beginning at around 3,000 dollars in 2012 and rising marginally by 2014. Overall, donations either increased or remained steady across all sectors.
