MINNEAPOLIS - When times got tough, Minnesotans reached into their wallets and purses and gave, well, just a little bit less.
A report from the Minnesota Council on Foundations released Tuesday estimated that charitable giving by Minnesotans dipped in 2002 to $4.18 billion, down less than 1 percent when adjusted for inflation. The decline followed another drop in 2001, and includes the first downturn in giving by foundations and corporations since 1984, the council said."
