Giving remains sluggish, survey says � Philanthropy North Carolina: Slammed by an erosion in giving by individuals, over a third of nonprofits are raising less money this year than last year, a new survey says.

Thirty-seven percent of 500 public charities and public foundations surveyed online in October by GuideStar said contributions fell in the first nine months of 2012, compared to the same period last year, while 34 percent said they grew and 28 percent said they were flat.
