Most charities still follow the classic form. Photo of suffering child. Anecdote about said child. Gift of address labels to ratchet up your guilt. And donation form.
Some charities play off solicitation fatigue.
Address labels aimed at 'guilt tripping' you into giving. . . . Or heart-rending photos calculated to play on your emotions. No one opposes feeding a hungry child, but those who study charities say it's better to give to groups that attack the roots of poverty and disease than to those that only address the symptoms. Whatever charity decisions you make, demand accountability. But there's not a word about what they really do with donations.
