It doesn't matter whether they are Non-Profit or not, it just doesn't make since to spend more money with only a very small fraction of the sale going to charity. <BR/><BR/>You should consider services like www.powerofgoodnetwork.com which is like a Discount Charity Mall, that only donates to legitimate charities.<BR/><BR/>P.S. That is my 2 cents, which is only worth 1 cent because of the current value of the dollar.My2Centshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08756391389680257983noreply@blogger.com
