IN THE
RECESSION WEALTHY DONORS OPTED OUT: Interesting report on NPR, based on a study by the Chronicle of
Philanthropy: During the recession, “The less well-off of America's citizens
became more generous when giving to charity. But at the same time, wealthy
Americans cut the proportion of their incomes they donated.” It’s pretty stark
and it speaks rather directly to our fundraising efforts. Smaller donors have
always been the backbone of RSN. Larger donors have in the past stood beside
them, or have they? / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported
