The ALS Association’s ice-bucket challenge has passed the $100-million mark, just as the donations are beginning to slow.
Donors have been challenging their friends to donate $100 to the organization or dump ice water over their heads, helping the association raise enough money to make it into the Chronicle’s Philanthropy 400 list of nonprofits that raise the most money from private sources. The association so far has eclipsed the 182 of the organizations included on last year’s .
The ALS Association raised $19.4-million in 2013.
