I hate this shameless guilt trip type charity approach.

Don't start asking me for money by calling me a dick. This child didn't write this, he didn't even think it, his life is shitter than that, he hasn't had the upbringing to become the type of douchebag who would write this.

No some smart ass marketing expert did, and they chose the font and the wording to have maximum "insert buzz word here". They got paid for it, and then probably went home to better luxury than the people who would receive that letter.

Fuck them, I will find my own way to give to charity if it means never dealing with sales minded gimp muffins like the cretin who wrote that.

I love these reverse psychology things, because then I can be the simple dude I am. I would be like "okey dokey" and would throw it away and would not feel bad because it said it's ok.

I don't donate to charities who do that.

This is a different situation but once I went out to lunch with my dad. When we left the restaurant a homeless man walked up to us and said "Money?" my dad said "no" and walked off. All of a sudden we heard the homeless man mumble "fuckin cheap asshole" my dad turned around and said "Really? I'm an ass for not handing you money? I don't pity you. I've got a life of my own and my own struggles. I've got a mentally retarded son (my brother) which majority of my funds go to. So no. I'm not a cheap asshole. You're a bum."

My dad wasn't being rude. There are PLENTY of missions and jobs in our area willing to hire homeless people as long as they try. And there are places who help them get back on their feet. It just annoys me when they walk up and expect a handout.

I used to deal with the CEO of one of the largest charities in the UK. He had a £3 million house, a maserati, and a Bentley. Since that I'm always strangely loathe to give to charities.

I received a thick letter from the Red Cross yesterday. They were asking for £2 a month because apparently that will make a big difference.

But in the letter was... a bookmark, a pen, a set of greetings cards and envelopes, and 2 solid cup coasters.

I already give a fair bit to charity, and Red Cross are no doubt a worthy cause. But it pisses me off these charities waste so much money on this expensive marketing crap

Emotional Blackmail: The best way to run a charity.

[deleted] · 2 months

The thing is these children will never see that money. I work with two pharmacists from Africa, and they told me these charities never help anybody. The money goes to their government and are used for soldiers uniforms and artillery. If you give them all shoes yourself, if you go back and visit them a month later they'll be barefoot again. This is because they sell the shoes to make some money for food for their children. Donating to these "charities" are a waste; the money ends up pocketed either way. And not to sound like a heartless dick, but I am not going to donate to these people if they don't want to be helped. Men are allowed to have sex with whomever they please, thus resulting in several pregnancies. And due to their cultural beliefs, they basically refuse to get ahead business wise. If their laws and beliefs don't change then neither will their ways of living. The sad thing is the children suffer. Fighting a losing battle deems to be a waste of time.

I worked for a company that designed cards for this type of solicitation. I tried designing cards that had a positive spin on them, but they were never used. The companies got more donations with negative, guilt trip-y designs, so I guess it says more about us than them.

Although, this is a bit... excessive.

I work for a company that fundraises for charities. You think that's bad? We send stuff out with horribly disfigured people on the envelopes. the only reason things like this exist is they raise more money than ones without the black kid. We test black kid vs white kid, fonts that look like handwriting, and we even send things out to be hand written on machines so it looks like someone sat down and wrote a letter themselves.

Good thing he's used to it - because that guilt trip shit only makes me throw letters in the garbage faster.

I used to donate a good portion of my money to charities (10-15% of it), but then I became pissed off at how much money they were spending on either advertising or perks for themselves. The money I paid to the charity is supposed to help the hungry. Not pay for a new boat to some already bloated fatcat.

He is NOT used to being sent through the mail.

If he was, then why doesn't he mail himself to any Orphanage, Church, Salvation Army, Goodwill, Shelter, United Way, or any other such place?

It's funny how these have become a massive joke by now... I can't believe how reverse-psychology this turned on them, less people probably donated to these than the ones that just give "cold, hard facts", I.E. "Everyone's starving here, send 50 cents please."

Wow. My grandma has had three children die from Cystic Fibrosis. Awhile back, she recieved a donation letter in the mail saying "I will keep Paul's memory alive by donating _____ dollars."

Do charities even work to solve problems, I am thinking about Dead Aid and Mastering the Machine. depending upon the problem charities seem to prolong the problem verses solving it.

You could change the caption and reuse the envelope. Say you are mailing your landlord his rent cheque, you could have "here's the rent, but the shower is still broken, or some other grievence. Your landlord would chuckle and say "darn it, have to get it fixed, the futile anger on this little guy's face is breaking my heart".

The monetary system simple does not work for the majority. Instead of trying to patch the holes constantly and indefinitely, why don't we invest in a new system that works for everyone? There are enough resources to house, clothe and feed everyone and even have the possessions people want. It's a distribution problem, not a supply problem.
