true story... 3 yrs ago i had a call center job at a place called RMG (responsive marketing group) in canada that did fundraising. we raised for 35 'charities' like Madd, sick kids, african medicine foundation, flying doctors, PBS, political parties, etc you name it. our sales pitch would change every 20 min based on whatever the dialer screen in front of you said, and if u didnt convert at a certain $ per hour you were switched to another charity.
worst thing you can do is get on their sucker list. basically you become a donor and they bug you every 2 months for eternity because you were a past donor and they remind you of this. once you're on that retention list lawd ham mercy. and as far as percentage goes most have a 20% if not higher admin cost because they have to offer the call center people some incentive to hit higher quotas and sales goals. some had it where if they raised over 1000 a shift they got to keep a certain % over the top of their quota etc.
if you want to help, go there and grab a shovel seriously, it would be money and resources better spent to better lives individually thats my take on it. i have seen how wasteful most of these places are
