Feature Follow-up

To: Geoff Peters

I enjoyed your article in FundRaising Success (“Fundraising and the Economy,” January). Couldn’t have come out at a better time. Your explanation of the two most vulnerable channels is insightful, and your multichannel point is right on target.

One question: You note accurately that people can be even more generous during times when poverty issues are in the media, yet you appear to say in the next paragraph that international NGOs and domestic human-services charities are likely to be hardest hit. Am I reading that wrong?
