[Vision2020] Fw: greed

[Saundra Lund]

LOL - a discussion it seems many of us can relate to  :)

 

Scott, I'm interested in how you make anonymous donations - can you please
share?

 

I'm pretty picky about the causes I donate to so I feel comfortable in the
ratio of "administrative/fundraising" expenses to direct spending on
programs and/or services, but what drives me beyond distraction is the whole
once I give, then I get the incessant calls, mailings, etc.  So, I'm very
interested in your anonymous donation method.

 

 

Thanks,

I donated to DAV years ago and now they've spent more money than I gave them
mailing me solicitation letters asking me to give them more money.  It's
very disappointing.  They're not the only ones who engage in this tactic and
it's become a secondary reason of why I have now switched to making one-time
only anonymous donations.
