By LEA SETEGN Journal Staff The holiday season has begun, and this traditional time of giving promOts many to contribute to charitable organizations. But before writing that check, find out how much of the money will be used for the cause the charity supports and not to cover the cost of the company that raised the money. A high percentage of contributions to charities actually end up in the pockets of professional fundraising firms, according to a report issued by state Attorney General Dennis C.

Vacco last week. The report, which covers 1994, found that out of the $159 million raised by 584 professional fundraising campaigns, only 33 percent or $53 million went to the charities it was raised for. And 75 percent of those campaigns gave charities less than 40 cents of every donated dollar. "This study points out that the overwhelming majority of professional fundraisers keep for themselves the lion's share of the contributions they collect," Vacco said in a statement.
