Re: Blackwater(XE) gets 125 million dollar contract
the way i see it is that an organization would rather have %25 of something than a higher percentage of nothing. so when someone contacts them and says hey, we will raise money using your name and give you a cut, they say yes. but as a donor, i would have an issue giving $10 to a phone solictor who will keep $7.50 when i can donate to a local organization and they get all $10.
however groups like the cancer society i believe uses alot (if i recall 40 or 60 per cent? i could be wrong) of the money raised during its fund drives to pay the salaries of the board members.
