Thanks for linking. It is somewhat ironic, to me, that you link to philanthropy2173 as a source on how this economic era might not be different, when I feel as if I’ve been the lone voice of doom pointing out all the ways the past trend data won’t apply and that there is no way this economic phase won’t diminish giving. It no fun seeing things this way, so it is nice to have you as company.

I agree with you – there are simply to many hits to the economy, from too many directions, in too many places, on too many people ALL AT THE SAME TIME (fourth quarter, a key period for giving). The key questions I have left are how deep and for how long? Thanks for the links on remittances – good info to have. And thanks for the callout! Lucy
