Green Bay Press-Gazette - Charities fear donor fatigue may cut into local collections

Green Bay Press-Gazette - Charities fear donor fatigue may cut into local collections: "Local charities are hoping the generous contributions Americans have made this year toward disaster relief funds won’t limit their holiday giving.

Americans gave an unprecedented $3 billion in charitable donations this year — primarily toward tsunami relief efforts in Southeast Asia and more recently the victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. To date, donations have topped $1.2 billion for hurricane victims alone, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy."
