Americans Plan to Give Less

Americans are happy with the job nonprofits are doing but still plan to give less to charity in 2010, a new survey says.

While 80 percent of 1,000 people surveyed for Fenton Communications by InsightExpress say their view of nonprofit performance is positive, nearly two-thirds say they either will give less in 2010 than did in 2009 or keep their giving flat, says the 2010 Fenton Forecast: Leadership and Effectiveness Among Nonprofits.
