Having worked for a national, hugely successful concept, we received at least 20-30 requests per week for donations, and were not very diligent in finding out exactly what those organizations were about.<BR/><BR/>I also worked for a company that would only give donations to companies that they checked out with phone call/web research, and would focus on small, local organizations. The big hitters like the Heart Association, Susan Komen, etc have a huge list of annual donors, so we focused on the very small area ones and felt we made a bigger impact.daveloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17386330790487716687noreply@blogger.com
