Charitable Donations Fall in 2008

Giving USA has released their annual report on charitable giving in the United States. Among the findings, while charitable giving surpassed $300 billion for the second year in a row, it represents a 2 percent decline in current dollars over 2007. This is only the third decline in current dollars since Giving USA began publishing its annual report in 1956.

Click here to learn more about the report as covered by NPR's Morning Edition (including comments from Center CEO Glen O'Gilvie and Center member N Street Village).

Click here for a transcript of a discussion hosted by the Chronicle of Philanthropy with the report's author and two fundraising consultants involved with gathering the data.
