Charities Must Minimize Their Overhead

Over the years I have donated small amounts to numerous charities and non-profits.  These include radio stations, disaster relief organizations, and medical organizations.  I understand that some overhead is expected as it takes money to make money.  These organizations must work hard to minimize overheads so that the funds raised go directly to charity.

I am annoyed when shortly after I make a donation, I receive email and paper mail appeals for more money.  It costs to prepare these brochures asking for more money.  Please don't pester people shortly after they donate and try to minimize costs.
