But the recession has hit the charity sector hard, as it has nearly every other business sector. Despite signs of economic stabilization, charitable giving dropped 3.6 percent to $303.75 billion last year. The good news is that in lieu of financial contributions, people are donating more of their time-the national volunteer rate increased 26.8 percent in 2009, accounting for 8.1 billion hours of service, according to government figures-and once the dollars are counted, 2010 may prove to be a year of small victories.
