[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 57960"] Dawg So what you are saying is that instead of the UW taking the 10-18% costs of fundraising from your donations, they are taking 20-36% from mine? REally? That cant be. You see, for each $100 given, 10-18% is taken off the top for fund raising activity. While this sounds like lot, it really isnt when you compare to other organisations that rase money. So if say 4 people give to say your church, and each one of us gives say $10,000 each. Now I come along and I give to the church too, in the amount of $10,000. That would be $50,000 that is to go to the church, right? So if the church gets the full $50,000, then who would pay the $5,000-9,000 in fund raising costs? Also, once given to the united way, UPS can not guarantee anything. d (Message edited by dannyboy on September 01, 2005) [/QUOTE]
