NEW YORK -- Americans gave more money to charity in 2004 than the year before. And, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, it looks like that generosity is still growing.

The publication said the 400 largest U.S. charities saw donations rise 11.6 percent last year from 2003.

The United Way of America was the top fund-raising group in 2004.

Money given to the 400 biggest nonprofit groups accounted for more than one-quarter of the $248.5 billion raised in the U.S. last year."
