I see businesses of all types advertising that "a portion" of the profits or proceeds will be donated to a cause of charity.

How much is "a portion"? 0.001% is a portion. 10% is a portion. How come they never tell you what portion?

Not quite as hot a topic as world peace or homelessness, but I still wonder.

Your thoughts?
I used to be cute and adorable. Then, I had my first birthday. Been downhill ever since.

It's sad some are kind of scams.  For years I never understood what the "March of Dimes" meant?
Then I was like, what do you do with the other $.90 you bastages?  :bs:

When I was in business years ago I made the mistake of donating to Catholic Charities of St. Cloud. They sold my info so I was on the charity sucker list forever. Lesson learned.

I really, really want to donate to NPR but won't go through the sucker list thing again. And no.....I don't trust ANYBODY who says they don't sell my information.

GLENN ÷ BRAIN FUNCTION× PRODUCTIVITY SQUARED,  WILL GIVE US THE MEANS, WHICH IS .00000001 then taking that numbermultiplied by qaulty of .00⁰0000-1 and adding that to gether will give you the portion of profits that go to:

Dutch, about 10 years ago I donated to NPR and I got a big coffee cup.  I told them that I would donate only if they quit sending me emails and other advertising.  Surprisingly it worked.  May not these days.

Next trip to Duluth I might try and find the NPR office, stop in and make a donation. They won't get any of my information. I watch that feature "Alone in the Wilderness" every time it's on. It never gets old.
