Local charities claim they're in 'big trouble'

Local charities claim they're in 'big trouble': "Judging by the initial amounts raised for Hurricane Rita, the earthquake in Pakistan and mudslides in Mexico, it is much less than it was for Katrina, said Paulette Maehara, CEO and president, Association of Fundraising Professionals.

Right now, there is not much charity fatigue being seen. But when it does show, it will first affect those small organizations that are working in smaller communities. 'And it is the organizations working at the frontlines of the disaster who will be affected the most.'"
