About 8 years ago I was trying to decide on what agency to donate for some plight. Finally settled on Mercy Corp. For the 2 years after my donation I was bombarded with solicitation from them, at least weekly. I still get solicitations from them. I'm sure the cost of their junk mail, just to me, has surpassed my donation. Which made me wonder, how did any money go to the intended needy?

That's what always makes we wonder about the organization(s). I don't mind giving. I just want the victims to get more than one nickle of my dollar.
