2009 Giving Goes Up 2% and Erases ’08 loss! :Bob Hartsook’s Blog: "The head of the Center on Philanthropy spoke at the AFP International Conference in Baltimore a couple of weeks ago. He said many things, but one in particular that I think the world needs to hear.
The loss of $6 billion in giving in 2008 should be celebrated and not viewed as a prescription for future failure. He said, “Only 6 billion?!? Wow. The resolve of our country to give is so great.” While other parts of the economy tanked 40%, giving went down only $6 billion. I agree and said so at the time. Thanks, Patrick for expressing that sentiment. It is right on."
