The year 2004 will be known as a strong one for charitable giving, despite a sluggish economy and concerns over rising fuel prices.
N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall released a report on charitable giving through 2004, revealing that not only were people continuing to give generously, but also fund-raising companies sent a higher percentage of the money they raised to the causes they sponsored. The annual Charitable Solicitation Licensing report covered July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004, and measured fund-raising events covered under the state�s charitable solicitation laws. "
