New Guidestar Survey Shows Donations Dropping & Budgets Cut. According to a newly released study by Guidestar, over half of all charities surveyed, saw a drop in donations and a third have cut their budgets. Of the organizations that cut their budgets, 54% are making ends meet by cutting services, and 44% by freezing staff salaries. Of the over 2,000 public charities and private foundations surveyed, 36% of grant makers gave away less money in grants over the three-month period surveyed. Most disturbing was that 8% of the surveyed organizations reported that they were in imminent danger of closing their doors for lack of financial resources. Check out the report at GuidestarReport
