The Chronicle, 8/4/2005: Corporate Giving Rebounds: "
The Chronicle of Philanthropy

By Ian Wilhelm
Editor's Note: This article contains information that has been revised from the print version of The Chronicle's August 4 issue. After The Chronicle went to press, it learned that General Motors had provided incorrect information about its giving figures. Those numbers have now been corrected in the online database that accompanies this article.

After two years of steady declines due to a stagnant economy and volatile stock market, the nation's

largest companies increased their charitable contributions last year, according to a Chronicle survey. Most companies in the survey expect their giving either to grow or hold steady this year -- as long as economic gains continue."
