JDNZ 12/28/10, 00:19 0 I personally am just much more prone to fall in line with a really soft sell. The charity I donate to (Direct Relief) was recommended by some random internet guy and after checking it out on charity navigator. They have never called me to ask for anything, and just send a letter or email once every couple months. It's worked out well for us both, and I think that I'd be turned off if they started having fundraisers who didn't know me except for a random file in their database start calling me up and pressuring. I would imagine that with some random d-bag lawyer or heiress if you don't do a harder sell that you won't get anything, and that twisting their arms is a good fight to be a part of.
