Lessons in 9-11 for giving: South Florida Sun-Sentinel: "community has learned important lessons about charitable giving in response to widespread disaster. While thousands of sympathetic Americans responded to 9-11 by donating approximately $2.2 billion, most was quickly spent following the attacks. A select few 9-11 charities withheld donations so they could continue to help people long into the future.
So, what have we learned from 9-11?
Possibly the greatest lesson learned from post-9-11 charitable giving trends is that charities and donors now realize that catastrophic events demand long-term recovery. Needs arise beyond immediate relief. "
