Living Social Deal

What goes unsaid is $23.75 goes to the fundraising company and $1.25 goes to the guild they called on behalf of. Walking down to the fire department and handing them $25 sounds like a better deal for the guild. No profit for the fundraisers of course Yes, the more I'm looking into it I think it would be too awkward to ask for donations for something like this where a lot of the money is going towards my expedition (guide, equipment, & the fundraising company) and not the cause. The only one that seems like a potential for me is the Climb for Himalaya Children that ajpederson mentioned, as 100% of your $1,500 pledge goes to the Mitrata-Nepal Foundation and there is no guide service, just experienced volunteers.

Anybody know how much of your money really goes to charity? I'm looking at the climb for clean air and it's $3800 minimum but the 4 day RMI package must take at least $1000 plus the marketing an operation costs of the foundation takes a decent chunk correct me if I'm wrong. Anyone know if there Is published data on this?

Anyone know of any climbs in 2013 for a charity/cause?
