Although companies are loath to admit that they are cutting their spending on social programs, nonprofit organizations tell TIME that since the recession hit, several have canceled commitments to help fund projects. "We have had three or four partners pull out since October or November, after we had every expectation of the money," says the head of a small organization in London that runs youth programs in eight countries, mostly...
