In an article by CMN.com, they state that “when donors fall for these solicitations, they may end up wasting their donations on charities that are not operating effectively. Sandra Miniutti, vice president of marketing and CFO of Charity Navigator, agrees that consumers often give in to knee-jerk reactions. She warns that individuals who give to organizations that solicit them often end up giving to a for-profit, which may keep up to 90% of donations.”
