* Most Americans who made charitable donations in response to the September 11 attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center say they intend to give as much or more than they usually give to other charities, according to a report by a nonprofit coalition of charitable groups. About 70 percent of the 1,009 respondents to the Independent Sector poll said they contributed to disaster-related charities in some form after the attacks, including 58 percent who donated money to such charities.

Of those who donated money, more than half--73 percent--said they would maintain or increase their usual giving to charitable causes. About 26 percent said they would reduce their usual giving or not give more money at all.
