Sixteen Georgia nonprofits and charities ranked in the top 400 in the U.S. during 2012, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy.

The article in the industry publication last week noted some shifts in giving and getting: The wealthy are giving more large gifts, and the middle class is holding back amid continuing economic uncertainty.

America’s charities have not yet returned to the salad days of 2007, before the Great Recession, and estimates are that total giving will drop a bit when 2013 numbers are compiled.

Here’s how Georgia’s biggest charities and nonprofits fared in 2012, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
