Our tech department wouldn't have the time. I'm glad it's getting positive feedback, there are a lot of good people that work really hard to keep it a respectable and honest charity and retail company.

But that's not the case: Lisa Halstead explicitly says that "CharityUSA passes 100% of sponsor advertising on to charity", and this claim is confirmed on the website mentioned by Jim, that of the Washington Secretary of State (http://www.secstate.wa.gov/charities/search_detail_cfr.aspx?cfr_id=20823). So even if CharityUSA dooes make money out of the products they sale and even though I don't approve of their use of spamming, if simply clicking on a button helps to raise money for the hungry or the sick, certainly it's worth doing it? Why not just send them an email to complain about their advertising policy?

According to the Washington Secretary of state CharityUSA.com LLC took in more lick 11 million and only passed along 16% to the charities in Question. The following financial information has been provided to the Office of the Secretary of State by the above-named organization. Figures are for the organization's fiscal year ending Jun 30, 2007. Contributions $11,280,900. Amount to Charity Clients $1,724,030 According to the financial information shown at left, 16% of the contributions raised by this organization were returned to or retained by the charity client(s). Yes they did pass 1.7mil to Greatergood and Greatergood did distrubute 100% of the 1.7mil but lisa and the rest of the people at Charity USA made a good buck, off of filling our email boxes with SPAM.
