True, a charity cannot spend all its money on expenses and promotion, but this one comes close. In fine print, on the reverse side of its solicitation form, the National Breast Cancer Research Center admits that it spends only 2.66% of its revenue on cancer research. You don't need to consult an accountant to find this offensive. But if you want to donate, please do so.
