As anyone could imagine charities and non-profit organizations are in need.  There are not many examples in history when times get tough giving goes up.  It’s tough and even the “top” organizations are feeling the pain, even those with hefty endowments.  According to a recent AP article

But “anecdotally, it is a serious problem. And if the current financial downturn continues, the problem will only get worse,” said Harvey Dale, director of the National Center on Philanthropy and the Law at New York University.
