I too have received CONSTANT calls from Woman to Woman Breast Cancer Foundation.  I have filed a complaint with the FCC and the BBB.  I would not recommend dontating anything to them.  The BBB does not recommend them:

I got a call from them also. They asked for Pam and when I stated they had the wrong number the lady apologized and said she was representing w2w affiliated with Susan g komen and asked for donation. I told her to send me the envelope. When I received the envelope come to find out they are in no way affiliated with Susan g komen! This is a scam!

Tese people usually do not answer after they call me and I hang up. This time they asked me to donate and I told them I don't give credit cards over the phone. The sent the pledge envelope, but now I am skeptical because that is not the orgsnization they called themselves on the phone. I am not going to give them money

I recieved a call on my cell on Sunday, December 16, 2012 at 7:06p.m. CST from a woman that said she was from the Women to Women Breast Cancer Foundation. The number she called from was (608)554-6598. This woman asked me for a donation, but I gave HER the run-around by giving a bunch of excuses as to why I couldn't donate at this time. She then told me that she was going to send out a donation packet to me, and then put a man on the phone that she said was her supervisor. He then wished me happy holidays and then hung up. I have never heard of this "foundation", and I have no plans to donate. I had an aunt who had breast cancer, and I don't play their kind of games.

According to the SC Sec. of State Office that rates charities, this is at the top of their list for fraud. They distribute 3.1% of the funds they raise for services. That means that 96.9% goes to "expenses". Your specious slam on the American Cancer Society is an interesting deflection. Do you work for this bunch? The ACS is a valued and valid non-profit that provides millions of dollars in useful, direct services to patients without misrepresentation. And then there is "Woman to Woman".

What they do is pay salaries to their own family. Three out of four of the permanent staff have the same last name.

After telling the caller that I didn't think I had donated to this organization before, she said they also call for other organizations like the firefighters (?) so I think if you give to one organization, they use the information to make calls for others-somewhat misleading to tell me I have given to this org. before when I may have given to another one of their clients.  I will not be sending them money-I don't give to calls over the phone or to professional fundraisers.

Hi,  READ THIS CLOSELY..I AM THE GUY WHO CALLS YOU AT HOME

The previous posts about telemarketing complaints and ex-cons working there are all true. I personally work at one, I'm a 18 yr old student (not a con). In the beginning I felt great I found a job where I raised money for alleged national and local charities from everything from State Troopers to Breast Cancer Foundations....until I did some of my own research on the comapany..askin around, searching the net, even makin some calls. I still do not have definite answers, but atleast some of these organizations might be real and help out the "cause". Ofcourse a large percentage (very large) of your donations are paid back to telemarketers and administration. This I find somewhat understandable beacause we are raising alot of money for non-profits and all they have to do is sign some papers. If we told everyone how much we are paid, no one would donate..no money would go anywhere--to us or the charity. And we will never tell you to directly give to the non profit because we make nothing from such a donation.
In fact, we tell you your money will go DIRECTLY to them...BUT we don't tell you that alot will be siphoned off to us. If you think about it, thats how charity marathons work too...most of the money end up being used to pay for other exoenses, but even if millions of dollars are raised, a lot of money, though not as much as millions, is raised for say Breast Cancer.

The thing I now have a problem with is whether these charities we call for are even legit. Again, I am not entirely sure...for most we do say we are registered with the Attorney General, so atleast some have to be. This is a very interesting yet gloomy industry not too many people are aware of. Ironically my family has sent checks to the very charities in the past through the same soliciting comany I work for..and I've called my own sister recently (no joke--it was akward and hilarious).

My advice for EVERYBODY OUT THERE that we call :

Here us out for, make a big or small pledge, sound sincere and let us verify your address. When you get the envelope and bumper sticker in the mail..DO NOT SEND BACK ANY MONEY. We are paid/hired based on your PLEDGES...not on whether or not you send back money, thats the company's problem. That way we college students, homeless people, other unemployed people, and yes ex-cons (felons really) are not on the street...and this company will eventually go bankrupts sending people stuff in the mail without getting any money returned to them...but yes beaware we will call you back several times for more donations, but if you keep doing the same thing (makin a plege but not sending money), our boss will eventually remove you from the list.

Or you could just hangup and say you're not interested....but believe me we will still call you no matter how uninterested you are..every year, and if you're don't want to give your personal info (name and address) when you make your fake pledge --well we already have that info anyway and don't send spam mail cuz we can afford it haha.  

I'm sad I work there, but I need money like everyone...But together if you spread the word we can drive these people outta business. And people don't yel at telemarketers--they really do hate the comany more than you...don't waste your voice with that..rather turn the tables and scam us back...that way every one is happy except the actual people you should hate - the owners, bosses, and rich CEOs of these horrid industries.

I'm so glad I found this website where someone will be able to read this.
By the way , my name (fake name) is Ryan Pierson on the phone...keep me in mind.

This "charity" gives approximately 3% of its proceeds to breast cancer programs according to the State of Washington charity registration info.   Do not give to these people, instead direct your donations where they will do the most good.  ie. American Cancer Society or equivalent

I received a call from a person in April 2012.  She was pleasant enough.  I asked her to send information because I had not heard of the foundation and I am very familiar with other foundations for breast cancer and do volunteer work for a couple.  She then became rude.  I finally agreed to $25.00.  When I received the information and researched the organization I decided to not contribute.  The money is all used for administrative costs.  I have now been receiving collection calls from the same company.

Thank you all so much for the feedback on this group!  as  others mentioned, they called me by first name (sent the pledge info with incorrect surname) and told me that I HAD DONATED at a specific level in the past. I am a breast cancer survivor, still medicating and I have donated to ACS in the past. They caught me unaware - We should be on a DNC list - and I assumed they were correct about my being a previous supporter.  This may well be a fault of the telefund that is doing their campaign. Still, it is a dishonest approach. Further research into the actual organization did nothing to instill trust. No donation from me - there are reputable folks who need the relatively few donation dollars my family can provide!

I have received numerous calls from this number, but they were all hang-ups after the caller realized it was a man answering the phone.  Then I got a call from "Mike" claiming to represent Woman2Woman Breast Cancer Foundation, and that I had donated to them before, at $40.00, and could I do this again, except now for $50.00.  I live on Social Security, and would remember if I had made such a large donation to them before.  I had not.  I told Mike that I might consider making a donation, but needed to see some information first, and certainly not at this level without knowing anything about this organization.
A week later, I received a bill, no information.  On checking with the internet (thank you for making this "billboard" available!!), I find that this outfit is a scam.  Thanks for saving yet another victim of false tele-marketing, designed to take advantage of people's sympathies for their own gain.

Twice, I didn't answer the phone w/ the # 000-000-0000. My daughter did on the third call. They asked for me by name. The caller was very nice. I even wished her "good luck with your calls tonight." She transferred me to the verification man. I had been undecided on the amount I wanted to give. Then he said, "That's not a commitment." and hung up on me. That is what made me check this out. It makes me feel really bad inside.

Wow I am so glad I decided to research this. They called me I was not paying attention to the number on the phone but the women stated that I had given them a donation in the past. I agreed to the donation just to gt her off the phone. Further research done, I had never given a donation to them in the past. So please beware
It all sounds good until you check into it.

So glad I checked this message board.  I was skeptical, but they caught me at a busy moment and I agreed to send a donation.  When I received the pledge material, and saw that they include a thank you to the paid professional fundraisers who solicit for them, I knew that the majority of the funds raised go to the professional fundraisers and very little to breast cancer patients.  They called today and reminded me to send my pledge, but I won't be doing that.

Thanks for your message. I wasn't sure either and have received another call telling me they have not received the donation and have sent 2 notices. I have not seen any notices. I don't feel comfortable sending a check to this organization. Thanks again.

It is very unfortunate that you write this about this foundation. I have personally used them and have referred several of my friends and relatives to them and all of us have been assisted. They do not only help black women Im not and some of my friends are not and they have helped.

If you call them directly you will see for yourself. I think its ashame that you base your opinion based on fundraising activities and not on actual facts.

I also asked for more info and was hung up on after a curt: "That's not a commitment!"  I am pursuing this with the BBB, TV, etc.  Please, I encourage others to follow-up.  I am a cancer survivor and resent this abuse and misrepresentation.  Please help stop this.  The phone number I recorded was:1-414-921-7181    Thanks
