From The Chronicle: More Than $438-Million Raised for Haiti

Contributions continue to pour in for relief efforts in Haiti. Twelve days after the massive earthquake struck, donors have contributed more than $438-million to 35 U.S. nonprofit groups, a Chronicle tally finds.

A celebrity-produced fund-raising telethon on Friday night was a big reason for the increase: It produced $58-million.
