[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, lots of bad feelings here!

My family gives a lot via CFC. [b]I like that it's anonymous so we don't get multiple solicitations from charities wanting more and more.[/b] I really like the program. I mostly ignore the events, and haven't found issue with the places I've seen donated to before. [/quote]

I hadn't thought of that! I donate a significant amount to St. Jude every year but am considering stopping because they won't stop mailing me. Why are they wasting the money I donate to them on mailings? [/quote]

Donate through Charity Navigator (Network for Good) instead.

CFC takes a cut of donations before giving them to the charities and are not very transparent about the size of the cut (approximately 10% the last time I dug it up).

Charity Navigator (Network for Good) has a smaller processing fee (approximately 3%) and allows you to cover the processing fee, so the charity gets the full donation. The processing fee is tax deductible. Similar to CFC, Charity Navigator doesn't share your information with the charity unless you allow it.[/quote]
