[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I already have.  Reduced contribution by 50%, though I give more outside CFC now.

I never liked that the CFC is just another layer of administrative overhead to sap dollars from the donees anyway.

I'd rather give $ directly to the recipients, I don't need CFC administration taking a  cut.[/quote]

+1  If you look it up, the CFC admin fee that comes off the top of each donation is like 8%.  I had a chunk of change that I wanted to donate one year and after checking out CFC, I decided to go directly to the charity and skip CFC.  I think it's a good program in that it encourages people to donate to charities.  I hate the pressure to meet "goals".  In the past I have been pressured to contribute b/c supervisors in two different groups were competing to see who could get 100% (I didn't know this at the time).  I have been to the celebration rallies where the CFC coordinators pat themselves on the back (which seemed rather odd to me b/c it wasn't THEIR money that caused the agency to meet the randomly set "goal").... I could go on.  The original idea was good, but it's become something not so good in practice.  [/quote]
