    I've donated to all 3 in the past and I think that's it for 2A CFC charities.
    Will probably donate to them again this year along with St. Jude's Childrens Hospital.

    I think these are also eligible under united way pledge drives (our admins bug the shit out of us to donate). Many large companies provide matching.

    I've sent the NRA Foundation some bucks via CFC. Also USA Shooting, the NGB for the Olympic teams.

    Not 2A, but gun related: Remember the Brave Foundation (sponsored Memorial Day weekend matches at Quantico).

    Hunting Related: NWTF, Pheasants Forever, Ducks Unlimited all have CFC numbers.

    I do my part to keep any organization I am part of from achieving 100% participation in CFC. Supervisors are always on a quest for that. I suspect they get something for having all their employees donate.

    My boss doesn't care :-) He appointed me a CFC keyworker (actually appointed a coworker as lead guy, who then deputized me) and said nothing for the remainder of the campaign.

    Also I take some sick pleasure thinking about the girl who processes the United Way checks being disgusted that she has to sign a matched check to the gun owners foundation.

    When I was in the Army, my CO wanted everyone in our company to buy savings bonds. Guess it made him look good. I resented being told every day to participate in a voluntary program. The more he asked, the more I refused. He finally quit asking. Maybe that's why I didn't get past E-3. :sad20:

    I view the CFC the same way. Donate directly to the charity if you want to. Or do as posted to piss of the libs and donate to a 2A charity. either one works.

    Why go through the CFC at all? I just donate to the charities I support directly. That way I know they get every penny I donate, immediately, without having a small "handling charge" siphoned off and the latency of moving through a third party.

    If you designate charities through CFC they receive 100% of your donation.

    Each charity in CFC has a percentage number disclosed. That percentage is how much of your money goes to administrative costs. I haven't looked through the book lately, but I don't think there are many if any at "0".

    United Way skims off a large portion of donations, before the individual organizations ever see a dime.

    I much prefer to donate directly.

    http://www.charitynavigator.org/ gives a really good look at the % of donations that actually go into programs.

    Between the amount that gets skimmed off the top and the disgusting political correctness of United Way and CFC, I refuse to participate in either. I give generously, more than a tithe, but only directly to those organizations that I wish to support. NRA, GOA, NAGR, MSI and many others have meet my qualifications and get a check each and every year.
    Too bad that's not good enough for some organizations; the constant stream of email and phone calls has cost some charities my support, and it has cost two organizations my support recently...

    Plan D? Not worth the hassle.

    That's the charities overhead not the CFC 's

    CFC is likely to be as cost effective if not more so than a visa card transaction fee. Esp for small donations and small organisations.

    That said dont like the idea of pushing for donations at work.. kill the drive and I might participate..
