Her friends, who are im

brought her where she is They
feel this will bring her out of
her severe depression so that
she will make the right choice
when she is faced with it the
next dav

questions about their finances
and organization methods
The following checklist can
help vou evaluate a chanty
before contributing to it
* How does the organization
solicit its money ’
* Are the goals of the charty

• Does the organization have
a permit to solicit funds in the
community ’
There ae some charitable
organizations using solicita
tion methods that are not only
annoying to consumers but also
illegal Some of these groups
have been known to send
unordered merchandise
through the mail and then
demand payment This is a
violation of both state and
federal laws and consumers
may return such merchandise
or keep it as they wish
Consumers should also be
aware of possible misrepre
sentation by some groups
portraying themselves as em
plovers of the disadvantaged or
disabled Ask the solicitors of
such groups what percentage of
your donation will go to help
these individuals and what
percentage of their employees
are either dsadvantaged or
disabled
There has been some concern
too. in recent years about how
much of the money collected by
charitable organizations actual
ly goes to the charity and how
much is allocated for admn
strative costs salaries, and
fund raising expenses
Our Consumer Protection
Division lawyers say people
should keep in mind that while
low operating costs may make
an organization appear
efficient there are other
things to be considered in
making an accurate evaluation
Does the charity employ
professional fundraisers or use
volunteers'1 Volunteers are
cheap but may not be effective
Is the group an old, established
charity or a new one’ New ones
must spend money to establish
themselves in the public eye
What’s the purpose of the
group’ If it s to educate the
public in some way such as to
be aware of the danger signals
of certain diseases then a high
amount of money spent on
printing advertising and publi
cations will be furthering the
organization s goals rather
than a needless expease
if you think you are being
solicited by an organization that
is using deception or misrepre
sentation contact your local
