Ohio nonprofits fear casinos will hurt fundraising - StamfordAdvocate

Ohio nonprofits fear casinos will hurt fundraising - StamfordAdvocate: "CLEVELAND (AP) — Hundreds of nonprofit groups in Ohio that depend on money collected through bingo and charity poker fear the opening of four new casinos will further diminish their primary fundraising source.

Millions of dollars are at stake, The Plain Dealer in Cleveland reported Sunday. The most recent available data shows nonprofit groups got $850 million through bingo from 2005 to 2009, and charity poker raised several million dollars."
