In MN, "strong signs" that charitable giving has returned to "pre-recession levels": 2014 is fourth year in a row that giving has grown.
"Nonprofits take heart: There are strong signs, according to a statewide study released Thursday, that charitable giving across Minnesota is making a slow, steady climb to pre-recession levels. Giving has risen for four straight years, according to the most recent data from the Minnesota Council on Foundations, which has been tracking charitable donations and grants statewide since 1976." -- Tad Vezner, the Pioneer Press
