I would rather write out a check to one I know personally and tell her or him to spend that money any way he sees fit. Like a previous poster stated, they prey on the sympathies of good hearted and patriotic Americans to line their own pockets. Some of the salaries and boards of directors and executive committees packed with paid family members are ludicrous. I would advise before giving to these organizations, one do his due diligence and see how much out of every dollar actually helps their constituents.
