AMERICANS GIVE LESS OF THEIR MONEY, TIME

Despite positive economic trends, Americans are giving less money to charities and volunteering less of their time than during the recession of the late 1980s, a new study indicates.

Among the 73 percent of Americans who gave at all last year, the average donation was $880, down from the $978 average reported in 1989, according to the survey, titled "Giving and Volunteering in the United States 1994."
