I used to work for something like this. We went door to door usually advocating health care reform or consumer rights of some kind--whatever we collected from the mark, we got 50%, and the rest went to the organization--which basically paid one lobbyist to hang out in the RI state house. This couldn't have costed more than 15-20k per year because I don't think she was even a professional lobbyist and she was part time. Aside from that, the canvas didn't do anything to benefit the community. I snuck a peek at some of my superiors paychecks and they were making some serious dough-too much for middle managers at a small activist group.

This sucks because even though I believe in most of these causes I have a deep seated mistrust for almost all non profit orgs.
