However it's always a good idea to ascertain the overhead expenses of any charitable organization before you send them a donation. I am constantly receiving letters in the mail from well known organizations that seemingly have a worthwhile cause but I can't help wondering what percentage of their donations are spent on salaries and generating millions of bulky letters containing freebies such as calendars, address labels etc. It's especially troubling when I receive 3 or 4 such mailings in a matter of weeks, every year, from a charity to which I have never responded. This tells me that it is a blanket mailing to every home in my neighborhood, and who knows wherever else.</p>Mary Kay commented on 'Charities Supported by FMF in 2011'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e2016760344839970b2012-01-08T23:50:17Z2012-01-08T23:50:17ZMary KayAwesome.

<p>Please stop referring to your readers as "that". When you refer to people, you're supposed to use "who". "That" is for objects. "Who" is for people.</p>
<p>This is a major peeve of mine. Thanks for reading!</p>

I think I will see more good happen by spreading my giving around. Also, if a gift is misused its just a portion of my giving not the whole, just good risk management. In these tough times we all need to give and give generously as there are many in need, just look around.</p>
<p>Hmm... Maybe I should look into some of these charities :)</p>
<p>Thank you for writing FMF it challenges me. </p>
