I'm the community rep for the American Institute for Cancer Research fund drive. Every year the AICR sends me a package of 20 letters and 40 envelopes to send out to the neighbors in hopes of getting donations. With the postal rate hikes, this costs a minimum of $18.80 (yes, I have to put return postage on the envelopes, too).
Now that I've said everything about the cost, I'll say something about the return on investment. Some years, it's very good--like 3 to 1. Last year, not so good. I went into the hole, but rather than send nothing to the ACI, I just dug a little deeper and sent them $20 of my own money. I felt it was well worth the investment of my time and the small amount of money I was able to donate.
If you're interested in seeing what they have on their site, I've posted a link below. Donate if you can. Many thanks, Nita
