With Ohio's economy crumbling, charities and non-profit groups are being asked to do more than ever. But ironically, they may have less money to do their work. That's because some of the charities' biggest contributors - giant charitable foundations - are also feeling a financial pinch. There are 3,100 charitable foundations across Ohio. George Espy is president of their trade organization, the Ohio Grantmakers Forum. He talked with Ohio Public Radio's Bill Cohen. |
