The 2006 Report Card on Charitable Giving in Erie County is filled with statistics that demonstrate small steps forward on the part of the nonprofit community.

Those advances, however, are tempered by more sobering data reflecting the difficulties and challenges faced by charities, cultural agencies and human-services providers.

The report, to be released Apr. 11, shows that total giving to nonprofit organizations in Erie County reached a five-year high in 2004, increasing 1.7 percent since 2003. But inflation was 3.5 percent during that period, eroding the modest gain."
