If so. its because your name is among the millions selected by computers programmed to find potential givers to causes. Subscribing to a magazine. belonging to a book or record club. buying by mail or at some time giving to a single cause is enough to put you among the chosen. Once that happens. youre asked to feed the hungry from Appalachia to Korea. heal the sick of cancer and respiratory diseases and some diseases you never heard of before: support your symphony. or rehabilitate wounded veterans and displaced refugees. The mail solicitations are usually appealing and expertly done. Pitiful children eye you from the brochures. Sometimes the computer has worked your name into the body of the letter and even recalled your previous generous gift. But do you know how much of your gift will go to those scrawny children or those maimed refugees? How much of your dollar is used to solicit more dollars through the mail? Is somebodyother than the intended recipient--profiting from your generosity?
