i doubt any organization raising money pleases everyone, I was a chairman for one of the big ones and got a very bad taste from dealing with the money guys. I donate to DU because I can see the good done- something i could not with the other.

maybe its simply like the old law quote
Laws are like sausages. It's better not to see them being made.
