NEW YORK -- The urgent needs created by three major natural disasters -- the tsunami in Asia, earthquake in Pakistan and hurricanes Rita, Katrina and Wilma -- drove American philanthropy to its highest level since the end of the technology boom, a new study showed.

The report released today by the Giving USA foundation estimates that in 2005 Americans gave $260.28 billion, a rise of 6.1 percent, which approaches the inflation-adjusted high of $260.53 billion that was reached in 2000

I'm waiting for somebody to say "they only did it for tax write-offs!" There are much better ways to get write-offs. :-)

Sometimes its nice to help others just for the sake of helping.
