Nearly five weeks after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, donations are continuing to pour into disaster-relief organizations.More than $952-million has been raised by charitable organizations working on relief and recovery efforts, according to the latest Chronicle of Philanthropy estimate.

the crisis, but only $1-million since.

- The Salvation Army has raised $35-million.
- Families for Freedom Scholarship Fund, an education fund for children of victims being promoted by Bill Clinton and Robert Dole, has raised $8.4-million.
- Catholic Charities USA has raised $5-million.
