How do you feel about charities that send you gifts? - umbrella charity
Charities have sent me T-shirts, umbrellas, key chains, greeting cards, mailing labels and even a small change to donate for me. That's really enough donations to cover the cost of all this too? I'm more responding to a question that touches my heart, a bribe. And you?

Umbrella Charity How Do You Feel About Charities That Send You Gifts?

It feels manipulative to me and makes me suspect that the administrative costs as compared to what they spend on programming, are enormous. You can use these information by either an annual or control over a Web site as charitynavigator.org or charitywatch.org (I may find the small second-best, because the first thing you see, at least, the share must go to the lineup). You will find good advice on how to respond to solicitations by telephone, mail or by print.
I once asked a fundraiser of your annual report (for the veterans organizations ") and instead of a supervisor picked up the phone and said," I can now say that past percent to programming. 14%. It is a WOW from me, but all of them. These people make money is called your love, and if only a penny for the people they claim to help. After charitywatch.org 75% should at least go to programs.

So I do not bribe or make you feel bad if they do not help "," free. "Yes, covering enough of the costs for materials, because many men are guilty if they do not at least give a little feel. Moreover, presents "buy" in bulk, usually at a deep discount and some even have them. In addition, since it is non-profit organizations, the port near nothing, then send everything it is just a drop in the ocean compared to what they receive in return. Like you, when you use a reputable organization that does not mean more to me than a bribe to. "

They have even sent money? Wow, that's new to me.
I received the mailing labels and key chains me a Native American school in SD ... I felt bad that I do not want to send gifts (I have this link for a free site after all ...), but then I thought: "I know somebody will send you a little more" and "not necessarily a great effort to be. "
And I agree with you about the corruption ... appears as a bribe from an obvious way.
I guess if someone is willing to send something to receive a donation.
I like someone threw this question to the general public. I have at least 4-5 of these "gifts" every week for a charity and welfare. I know some of them really deserve and need donations. Yes, I feel a slight feeling of guilt if I can fulfill my checkbook. The charities pay a very, very little for cards and labels, the address and you can even send them free, so do not feel guilty. I want to send every cent of their cause, rather than spend me a ring. I never use it all anyway, but I know why they do it. Whenever you type an address label, please remember that you do not give it to them. * It is a gesture designed to put the blame on you in making a donation. Sometimes the people, including charities, do everything possible to make money for the causes that they believe better to a charitable use of their money than others. But when it comes to what, I agree completely that you from the heart.
Blessed be the person who proposedOversight agencies online charity - it's good advice.
