>>Donations will be less when the economy is down

I agree, and there are other factors too. Donations are tax write-offs (especially for the wealthy). Massive Tax cuts for the wealthy (like those that passed last year, as well as the 700 BILLION cut that President Junior Bush is pushing) do the exact opposite of encouraging charitable donations. And the cuts for things like college grants, veteran's benefits and school lunches don't seem bother anyone that he talks to at Country clubs across America.
