Bulletin warns of phony charity
The ministry of consumer
and commercial relations' has
prepared an information bulletin
advising how to avoid phony
charity schemes.
"We want to help consumers
distinguish between worthwhile
charities and ph, ony schemes so
they can be sure their donations
don't go to support unethical
fundraisers," said consumer
minister Larry Grossman. "Most
charitable organizations do a
tremendous amount of good and,
would suffer greatly if people
withheld their dollars," he said.
But there are exceptions.
The ministry recently issued a
New
cease-and-desist order against an
Ottawa company which was
representing itself asa non-profit
organization in order to sell
tickets to Christmas dinners for
senior citizens.
Community -groups are often
asked to lend their names to
circuses and parties run by
promoters. In exchange they
receive a small portion of the
profits which they give to worthy
causes. The promoters, who
control the finances and ticket
sales, keep up to 90 per cent of
the money raised.
Tickets to these events are
'often oversold becauise organizers
know that most well-meaning
consumers purchase them to help
'the underprivileged, not because
they are interested in go ing to
the circus. At one circus, 21,000
tickets were sold for the 3,800
seats available.
"We have forced these
companies out of business in the
past and we won't hesitate to do
so again," said Mr. Grossman.
"but a cautious public is the
be .st *defence against phony
charity schemes," he added.
Consumers are advised in the
Under The Business Practices
Act, companies which make
"false, misleading or deceptive"
irePresentations may be fined up
$25,000 and directors array be
'fined -up to $2,000 each and/or
,inirisoned up to one year.
bulletin to give primarily to '
charities, with which they are
familiar and to check with the,
I Better Business Bureau • and
Chamber of Commerce if they are
uncertain about a company's
reputation.
The Bulletin also recommends
that consumers ask questions,
ifind out where the money is
goiong, what percentage is
actually used for charity work and •
the canvasser's name and
address. •
