Goldman Sachs is on track to turn in its most profitable year ever, and the bank's near collapse last fall—along with the financial system as a whole—is quickly becoming a distant memory for Goldman chief Lloyd Blankfein. So why is he giving less money to charity than he did before the downturn?

In 2007, back before the financial crisis battered Goldman, the Lloyd & Laura Blankfein Foundation handed out $1.58 million to some 50 non-profit organizations. For the most recent fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, the Blankfeins gave out $950,000, a nearly 40 percent decline.
