I’ve been asked to sponsor a friends sponsored cycle. I clicked onto the just giving page, and found that the charity is one I already make a fairly substantial monthly contribution to.
Should I
What’s your objection to donating? If you already donate to the charity you must think it’s a good cause. If it was for a cause you didn’t already donate to you’d donate the money no problem I’d imagine. I think you are just over thinking this
You give enough to that charity - point this out and move on. You wouldnt donate more than once to the fuckers on the streets with their canisters would you?
It’s a major multinational operation and recent scandals have left me wary of such ventures. I’m. Perfectly happy that they get more than enough from me already, so, in effect, I’m just giving money to grease the wheels of my extended social group, which is cowardly really. This is the problem.
Genuinely, in what way is a few quid to this charity “supporting her efforts”?
She’s going to do it anyway.
I’d rather donate elsewhere.
I’ll go with the consensus here.
I should mate, I in part never got round to it, and in part think it’s not necessarily fair to tar them all with the same brush.
I was once on the plane beside a lass who worked for unicef in Geneva. I asked what the actual percentage of non administration money which went to the cause was (it was a topic at the time, and was just the way the conversation went) . She looked at me like I was mad, and said she had no idea.
We it seems a lot to me. Not to others I’m sure. Again, I wonder if it isn’t just paying to ease my conscience, and as such, is in fact entirely selfish.
