Guidestar Finds Mixed Fundraising Trends Across Nonprofits
A national Guidestar survey shows 36 percent of nonprofits reporting increased giving and 37 percent reporting declines in the first nine months of 2010, with international groups most likely to see gains due to disaster relief.

Lois Buntz of United Way of East Central Iowa cites a recovery from the 2008 flood and economic recession as boosting local fundraising.
