Firefighters Association wanting donations. Polite but pretty high pressure. They only guarantee 11% of your donation goes to this organization. I suppose it could be more but that doesn't sound very efficient.

Since I have caller ID, I don't answer any calls I don't recognize. I write down the # and do a search. This # is registered to a phone company, PAETEC Communications in Pittsburgh, Pa.
I did some research and would suggest that you all might go to a web site called Charity Navigator.
Firefighters Charitable Foundation (according to Charity Navigator) had an Income of $6,109,447. Their Fundraising expenses totaled $5,326,352 and with other expenses added in, $0 went to affiliates. There is also on record a settlement with PA Courts on July 13, 2011, where a fine of $1,000 was paid for the use of an unregistered solicitor (Menacola Marketing). If you decide to speak with these people, you might want to ask about this info.
