Summary: by KYW's Kim Glovas For original story, visit: http://www.kyw1060.com/A-Philanthropist-s-Guide-for-Giving-This-Holiday-S/5810037 If you are uncertain about giving charitable donations this holiday season, there is some help available. A new guide has been produced by the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for High Impact Philanthropy or CHIP. It identifies areas where there is the most suffering in the economic downturn. Katharina Rosqueta is CHIP director: "So the three areas in particular that we found were, number one, preventing foreclosures. The second is insuring continuing access to primary and preventive health care, and the third is making sure people aren't going hungry." She says those who give money may only be able to give $5 or $10, but she says if enough people give, they will make a difference, not just for one individual but for the whole community
