in Canada there are many donation scams in the form of tax shelters where the charities receive little to none of the money raised.
Many charities that are not as well known are also hard pressed to raise funds, and as such utilize methods such as telephone solicitation in order to find fundings, but this is generally a rather expensive way to do so. I ran a few research runs through charitable fundraising, and find that a lot of it is paid out to the fundraisers, which I both agree and don't agree with.
It's a necessary evil - as many smaller charities wouldn't receive support without it, but it's just so inefficient, and there are much easier methods to raise money for a local charity (churches, schools, etc). If you're interested in raising money for a school or church in Canada, drop me a line, and I'll explain my method to raise quite a bit of money for a local (Canadian) Charity if you've got the drive and willingness to do so. I'm not Anti-US - I just don't know the tax law there as well as I do up North.
