Online giving to the nation's largest charities continued its steep climb in 2005, according to "The Chronicle's" seventh annual survey of online fund raising.
Electronic gifts to the 167 organizations that provided data for this year's survey topped $911.9 million in 2005.
The staggering sums of money donated online to aid survivors of the Indian Ocean tsunamis and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita explain part — but not all — of the increase.
