Unlike some who solicit on behalf of others... she DOES NOT keep a percentage. I really like that about her.

I've seen some VERY sneaky emails in my life where a well known entity asks for contributions to help out a specific cause or candidate... but hidden with the fine print of the email (or hidden in the fine print of the donation website's TOS) it is revealed (but you have to be looking for it) that a portion of the donations are actually redirected with the "well known entity". Ugh! --- What a sneaky thing to do! So dishonest!

All I'm saying is that unless you're absolutely certain that your donation isn't being "skimmed" by that contacted you on behalf of someone else, it's best to give directly.

Every indication here is that HRC's efforts are NOT self-serving and HRC is definitely NOT skimming. Awesome!
