Legitimacy

In defense of CfC, the Texas Fraternal Order of Police says they are their professional fundraiser. The mailing I got in followup to the phone call is from the TFOP, not CfC, and contains that statement. The return address for the donation card is also to the TFOP (I checked it against their website). As much as I resent telemarketing, in this case CfC is apparently on the up-and-up. I am not affiliated with CfC or the FOP. In fact, the police in my community chose not to affiliate with the FOP, and my donation would go to the statewide organization, not any local chapter.

Misleading/hidden tactics

I was called by this company saying they represent and fundraising for "The Fraternal Order of Police" and using some VERY strong sympathy tactics to try and get me to just agree to let them send me a donation form (no obligation or financial committment over the phone).

I asked them two questions: 1. How much of my donation actually goes to the charity you are collecting for. The representative said 30%. So I ask all of you... how can they sit there any nearly cry in their plea for money, then only give 30% of what they collect to them and say they are calling "on behalf of" or to try desperately to "help them as much as we can"?! This is 100% about profit for them, and not for the company they are trying to help.

If you want to donate to the Fraternal Order of Police, go to their website, make contact with them and ask them to put you in contact with their fundraising program/POC and donate directly so 100% of what you give will go to a worthy cause/organization, not into a corporations profit coffers.

They are the ones who should be guilted into giving 75+% of the donations they receive to their donors. Sad that in America, this is legal. If I had no heart, I would get into this line of work and get rich quickly.
