Telemarketers for charities keep most of the Mass. take - Worcester Telegram & Gazette - telegram.com: Of the $266.6 million that Bay State donors gave last year to charity fundraising campaigns run by professional solicitation firms, those for-profit firms pocketed a whopping $175.7 million, nearly two-thirds of the donations.

The charities in whose names the millions were raised kept just under $91 million, about a third of the total, according to a new report from Attorney General Martha Coakley's office.
