I've worked indirectly with a few large, non-profits and that is the feeling I get with all of them. All of the ones I've worked with do actually do some good, but I'd say on average only about 30% of their budget goes to that good, the rest to overhead and lobbying.

I'm sure you're close to the truth, but I also spent five years with St. Jude in Memphis, and can say there is not a finer organization on earth.

Coleman suing other organizations for using "For The Cure". It's sad.

Sucking on a cigarette is bad enough, but sucking on a battery seems pretty odd as well.

Also most of these organizations all have their own agendas they are pushing, my contributions will always go to either St. Judes or Ronald McDonald house. (personal experiences with both)
