The helping spirit: "Similarly, the Association of Fundraising Professionals reports that the 'donor fatigue' many nonprofits feared in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina hasn't materialized. In fact, the Conference Board, a research group, found that 89 percent of 5,000 survey respondents said that their giving for Hurricane Katrina relief wasn't instead of, but in addition to their other planned charitable gifts.

Polls may indicate that the electorate is in a real funk on some issues, such as the slow progress in Iraq and the mess that FEMA made in handling Katrina survivors."
