Giving - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos

Giving - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos: "Who tends to donate more to social causes? Men or women? The rich or the poor? What kind of causes do Filipinos favor for their donations?

These were some of the questions tackled at a workshop last week organized by the Venture for Fund Raising for nongovernmental organizations. Many of these NGOs have depended mainly on grants from foreign donors. With the Philippines now considered a middle-income country, many of these donors are reducing their grants here, or are pulling out completely, so NGOs have to think about how they can diversify their funding base."
