For Charities, times are even tougher. Here are some ideas.

When times are good it is still a difficult job for fundraisers to raise money. Let's face it, people are not usually knocking on peoples doors begging to give them money. So what does that do for fundraisers in today's economic times? I have been in touch with a couple of fundraisers and have been inspired by their simple beliefs that they are just soldiers for G-D and will continue on and have the faith they will continue to raise money. Other fundraisers, although also having faith, are having a bit of a harder time.
One seminary I know was promised a very large donation in the summer by a very well know philanthropist and that promise is what enabled them to open up for this year. 4 months later the money has still not come in and now they are seriously thinking about closing down.
Charities and fundraisers need to start thinking out of the box and perhaps look into new ideas.
Mashable has published a list of more then 50 ways for people to give money online. Many of these websites would either be great for Jewish Non-Profits top get involved in and to use their tools and perhaps their is an inspired entrepreneur out there that may take one of the successful models and create a Jewish version of it.
