This reminds me of the statistics for many "boiler-room" phone-
bank operations, that convince various good causes and charities
to "farm out" their fund raising.  Many times the charities only end
up getting like 10 percent of the net profit (yes:  NET, not gross);
some times even less than that.....

Think I'm with Glenn:  Great cause;  at the very least suspect
vehicle (disclaimer:  I have no idea what "many" really amounts to
in this case).
