Charlotte Observer | 01/03/2005 | Charities get more from fewer dollars: "Charities get more from fewer dollars
N.C. residents cut back on gifts but less given to go-betweens

There is mixed news for charitable giving in North Carolina, a new state report shows.
North Carolinians gave charities throughout the United States less than half the amount they did last year. But a greater percentage of those donations went to the nonprofits themselves instead of the professional solicitors who raised money for them, the N.C. secretary of state's office reports.
Between July 1, 2003, and June 30, 2004, charitable fund-raising campaigns grossed more than $145 million. Of that figure, organizations netted 55 percent of every dollar raised.
In the same period the year before, receipts totaled more than $316 million, and charities received about 52 percent."
