TORONTO, Dec. 1 /CNW/ - In today's severe global economic climate, charitable organizations are required to do much more for their donors than ever before, for survival, according to a new report released yesterday. If not, a serious cash flow crisis could be on the horizon.

The research was unveiled at the Association of Fundraising Professionals Conference in Toronto.
