from the receding horizons file: trends in post-disaster donations

<11:28 a.m. ET Friday, 12:28 a.m. Saturday in Tokyo> Seven days after the 9.0 quake off Japan, donations to nonprofit organizations have reached about $87 million, according to a tally by the Chronicle of Philanthropy, a newspaper covering nonprofits. In comparison, one week after the earthquake in Haiti, donations totaled about $275 million. In the case of Hurricane Katrina, it was over $522 million, CNNMoney reports.
