While the amount of money people give to charity is growing--up nearly three percent in the last year--their faith in the non-profit world is trending in the opposite direction. A recent public opinion poll indicated that only 46 percent of Americans believe that charities are honest about how they spend the money they raise, an all-time low. The U.S. Senate is also considering an increase in government oversight of the non-profit sector. Brian Gallagher, CEO of the United Way, addresses these concerns live from the National Press Club in Washington.
