RE:Every charity needs a cause?saf...
FYI: Be real careful on the Charities you choose... We are BIG believers in supporting "some" causes..
A few out there have even hired outsiders for profit to run their fund raising programs..
.one big one locally even has a well paid VP of Fund Raising,
another one has even hired an outsider that " keeps" 35 cents on every dollar donated, (for all their promo efforts)...
.Research is important & just where & how your docation $$'s are spent even more important.
Fund raising is Big business & donating also real important.. IMO
NOTE: a very wealthy friend has been donating profitable shares to take advantage of taxation breaks
& that also makes his favourite charities very,very Happy.
