Add fundraising to list of challenges presented by gulf oil spill

Add fundraising to list of challenges presented by gulf oil spill: "This month, the Chronicle of Philanthropy reported that more than $4 million had been raised since the deadly tanker explosion in April and resulting oil leak, a fraction of the more than $6 billion donated to the Gulf of Mexico region in the year after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. The oil spill has been called the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history.

For many, the idea of shelling out for a manmade disaster is tough to swallow; some say BP should cover the damage, even as the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund, the National Audubon Society, AmeriCares and other organizations have been pumping money into the area for wetlands restoration, animal rescue and help for fishermen and others who have lost jobs."
