I won't donate over the phone or door to door either. Our money goes through the church too since we are both retired. A lot of people don't want to donate to the larger names because of the administrative costs but those are professional fund raising people that go after the big corporate donors that insist on being wined and dined. And so they do have their place but they don't get my money either. (I don't have the clothes to attend their galas either - so not a big loss to me.)
