Review for Heifer Project International, Inc., Little Rock, AR, USA
I have long admired the work that Heifer does and was happy to contribute after the Haiti earthquake with funds designated for that effort. I began receiving requests for additional donations immediately. I currently receive solicitations via phone, email and US mail at least once per week. This is far too much time and resources spent on fundraising.

Change the fund-raising company and limit the number of solicitations directed towards donors
Review for Habitat For Humanity International Inc, Americus, GA, USA
I was happy to contribute to Habitat after the Haiti earthquake. I was not so happy to begin receiving solicitations for donations even before I received a confirmation of my donation. Phone, email and mail solicitations continued on a DAILY basis, including weekends, evenings and weekend evenings. I received as many as 6 phone calls per day.
I question the % spent on fundraising when subsidizing literally thousands of contacts to one person in one year.

Fire the fund-raising company
