Contributions to the nation's biggest charities rose slightly last year after falling in 2002, the first decline in a decade, according to an annual survey by a publication that tracks nonprofit groups.
The study, to be released today by the Chronicle of Philanthropy, found that donations to the 400 largest nonprofit organizations increased by 2.3 percent in 2003, to more than $47 billion. In the previous year, donations fell 1.2 percent, in part because of troubled economic times. "
