I currently work for CRF. The charities that they call for are legit. As for those of you who think that the do-not-call list keeps you off all the lists are crazy. non-for-profit and charitable organizations are exempt from this list unfortunately. The charities pay CRF to call for them so they can focus on the charity itself. If you pick up the phone and tell them to take you off the list they have to.They do not send out packets unless you say that you will donate at least $10...
As for those of you raggin franks ass.... i bet neither one of you have served our country, suffered the effects of war, and had to deal with it all on your own so until then keep your comments to yourself... everyone has their own seperate situations they had to come home to. Kick [***] Frank and thanks for serving our country!!

I currently work for CRF. They are 100% legit as far as the fundraising goes. If you donate for the AHV (American Homeless Veterans) 67% will actually go towards the Vets. If you donate for the KWN (Kids Wish Network) only 12% will actually go to the children. You don't have to tell me I am aware that 12% is very shady. CRF does AHV, KWN, CCD (Childrens Cancer Dream), APSA (American Police and Sherrifs Association). If you ever plan on donating to a charity through CRF or any other organization always ask what percentage actually goes towards the cause. If you don't want to be bothered by CRF tell them to put you on the Do Not Call list...by law they have to code the call as a never call. Don't be mad at the CRF employees though...it is their job to keep rebuttling you until they get a pledge. We sit there and read a script off a screen that says...say this if the person says yes or say this if the person says no. We're paid to be persistant. Depending on what a CRF employees sales are determines how big of a bonus they're going to get for that week.

NO, they will NOT  take our name off the list. I have asked at least 6-7 times, and still get calls all the time. At least 2 times a day with hang ups. They pay you by the phone call, and you just are getting paid for harassing people. I support the veterans like you would not believe. You act like you are about 10 years old, and have no clue what the world is about. These people (including you)  are annoying, and you condone that. SHAME on you for your comments, the Veterans Association that is active here is APPALLED at what you all are doing. I am very active there, and you put a bad name on what the help is about.  I work there every day. You should find Frank and help him, if you have a heart. I bet that has not happened, and I do this kind of work every day. Have you done it?  Scammed people for money?  
Again, SHAME ON YOU. These calls will end.. Good luck for you, I AM AN ATTORNEY! AS IS 4 OTHER MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY! WHO ARE NOT HAPPY!  PB

It sounds like these people get paid for the number of calls they place rather than the number of donations they collect.  I just blocked the number on my phone and it doesn't even ring.

i get a call from the american homeless veterans about 6 times a day and nobody is ever there,, the place that calls for this charity needs to be checked into--the mgmt team is really harsh on the employees about making sales--u cant make people give, the way the econonmy is..good luck--on the mg mt note--they want u to make calls for the veterans but let alone, they dont help u out except just hound u.. geez--come on now--

I work for Charitable Resource Foundation. The way it works is, we call on behalf of one of three different organizations, or charities if you will. These charities are the Kids Wish Network, the American Homeless Veterans, and the Children's Cancer Fund of America. You could call us a "middleman". We call FOR these charities to help raise money for legit organizations. Each of these charities has their own website, and the Charitable Resource Foundation has their own website. You can visit them each below.

Kids Wish Network:

American Homeless Veterans:
www.vetsvision.org

Children's Cancer Fund of America:
www.ccfoa.org

Charitable Resource Foundation:

You can visit all of these sites and understand exactly how it works. Honestly, when peole complain and assume this is a scam because of someone else's words, it makes the employee's job harder and also takes away from the children with cancer, life threatening illnesses, and the fallen veterans who are homeless. Speak with knowledge and not assumptions. Read the great reviews about what these charities have done, then base your opinion on your own and not other's. I hope someone will take my advice and realize that this is no scam!

P.S. CRF is a not-for-profit business

I work for the above mentioned company. I am paid minimum wage meaning that if they could pay me less they would! I am NOT paid for the number of calls I make. Believe me if I were I'd be raking in the money hand over fist. I am paid minimum wage and paid a 1% commission for every donation dollar I bring in. It's not easy doing this but the bottom line is that anyone out there who is working they're doing it for SURVIVAL!
It's called putting food on the table for your family. It's called taking care of your families needs. I am sorry if for that 20 seconds of your life we bothered you. There are ways you can now block the number from calling you. If we or anyone else calls you at dinner time which most of you seem to have at 3:30 in the afternoon then you know what? Let the answer machine pick it up. Let it go to voice mail. This is the 21st century after all and we don't want to talk to you anymore than you want to answer the phone to us. Please don't answer the phone. Block our numbers. This way we can go on to making a living and providing for our families much the same way you do and we can do while talking with people who want to help others. Not people are just going to be jerks!

Legit or not, American Homeless Veterans charity are trolls.  My elderly grandfather was slow to respond to a phone pledge he made.  He only has a few extra dollars from his social security so he had to save up to honor the pledge.  And he would have honored the pledge except they called him and were very rude.  As he tried to explain his income predicament, the first caller put on his supervisor who was even more rude.  Now he's very upset.  He's hurt and ashamed they think he's a bum.  It's hard to imagine a legitimate charity acting this way. A few kind words and they would have gotten his pledge, and more. Granddad is old, he's slow, he has limited income, but he is an honest and honorable man and does not deserve what the American Homeless Veterans trolls did. They are despicable!
