[QUOTE="BrownBrokeDown, post: 1402590, member: 46824"] Photog, just an fyi. Not all of us that are against UPS harassment tactic to get us to donate to United Way, or against United Way themselves, are against charities. I just want you to understand that. UPS lower level management sometimes does carry it to a harassment level when approaching for donations. In addition to that the United Way is 1 of 2 "charities" I will never donate to again. United Way is handled as a business. The compensations including the insurance/pensions is not appropiate in a charity setting. Now if it was a business, I would say it was on par with the work, but it's not a business...is it? The other charity is Red Cross. I have seen the issues (which I will not go into on the internet) from both someone donating time, and multiple people on the receiving end due to a natural disaster. It is more money efficient to directly donate in a case like this either directly to an individual or to a local entity that has been set up for the disaster. People should research and then directly donate to the charities of choice. That way there is no administration fees/salaries/advertisement funds/etc pulled out of the money before it reaches the chosen charity. The charity benifits by getting more money out of the same amount donated by you. [/QUOTE]
