There are also very many of them who choose to donate anonymously after 
the fact.  Be careful about painting with too broad a bush.

However, there is one clear fact about raising funds for these large
DXpeditions ... if the rest of the world would support the operations
in proportion to the number of QSOs on the same scale as support from
the US (not even counting what the participants put up out of their
own pockets) the funding gap would be much much less.  Recent major
operations show as much as 2/3 of funding from US sources with only
1/4 to 1/3 of QSOs in the US.
