Over the past year I have donated to several organizations including (in no particular order):
- American Cancer Society
- American Red Cross
- Salvation Army
- Lustgarten Foundation
- Pancreatic Cancer Network
- Masbia
- World Hunger Year
- Coalition for the Homeless
- Bowery Mission
- WFUV
- WBGO
- Paley Center for Media
A foundation must spend money to make money, but I hope that all these organizations minimize their overhead. Once I have donated to an organization, they constantly come back to me asking for more money. A better strategy would be to seek out new donors. In this "online era" I suggest that groups only make appeals through email and websites. It costs money for printing and mailing fundraising appeals.
