Thought I would raise a little awareness about raising awareness for non-for profit research and donation charities.. Much of the talk about charity is meaningless without understanding that an organization that lives on donations is really selling a product to its customers, no different in principle from any other company. That product is the promise of advancing some collective good, proportional to the price paid. Thats why e.g. Coca-Cola can spend their revenue however they see fit, the value of the end product is not diminished. But if your product IS the channeling of money to a cause, its obvious that large overhead makes that product worth less and you get no customers. That is unless you intentionally keep them in the dark, even lying if necessary (which happens quite regularly). SO..basically, when charities take on business values they morally cease to be charitable...therefore do some research if you truly care, give direct to the testing facilities, or find alternative ways to help those in need instead of taking 12 seconds out of your day to paypal a few dollars off your iphone which ends up mostly in CEOs pockets...
