The Nonprofit Quarterly | @npquarterly | Nonprofit Newswire | Recession Worsening Decline in Religious Giving

The Nonprofit Quarterly | @npquarterly | Nonprofit Newswire | Recession Worsening Decline in Religious Giving: "As the New York Times reports, 'Well before the subprime mortgage crisis threw the economy into a tailspin, warning signs for religious giving were present. A 2007 study by three professors at Indiana University-Purdue University in Indianapolis found that baby boomers in 2000 were donating about 10 percent less to religious bodies than their parents’ generation did at a comparable age in 1973—and almost 25 percent less than those parents, by then ages 62 to 76, were donating in 2000.'"
