Hate to burst your bubble but a whole lot and I mean a whole lot of those are national charity organizations that hit people city by city. Fact is little to no money at all will reach the local level, ussually none. Then a very small percentage that is ussually 15% or less is donated at a national level, the rest is kept by the company. Then to make matters even worse, one company will often own several charities and share their contributors lists with each other.
They are a sucker telemarketer scam that is able to walk around the do not call list to rip you off in the name of a good cause. If you do not believe me give your local police, sheriff, or fire station a call and ask about this "charity".
