Re: Donating to Charities
However, as earn my daily corn, I am required to deal with a variety of what we must now call 3rd sector agencies. All of them are funded primarily by local authorities and all of them are pretty high profile and work diligently at fund raising. Unfortunately, they aren't so diligent at doing what they exist for, and they certainly don't front up when the going gets tough.
I like DEC, because the money is raised quickly, targeted specifically and the goods get to where they are supposed to go, sometimes. Some of 'em are engaged in little more than a consciousness raising exercise.
