Think twice about solicitations I recently received a solicitation from the National Veterans Services Fund campaign requesting a $10 donation as part of their 2007 Rusk area annual fund donation drive. The letter opened with, "Have you forgotten to say 'thank you?''' and continued in a similar, heart-tugging vein which suggested that if the reader did not respond positively, his or her patriotism was questionable. In checking charitynavigator. org, I discovered that of the $9.3 million this organization has collected since 1998, only $11,000 has gone to veterans' services. The National Veterans Services Fund has no donor privacy policy. It is my opinion that anyone considering a donation to this group should think twice. |
