A good reminder with the holiday, giving season ahead.
'THINK' BEFORE YOU DONATE!
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
BEFORE YOU MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS:
As you open your pockets to do a good thing and make yourself feel good, please keep the following facts in mind:
----------------------------
.
The American Red Cross
President and CEO Marsha J. Evans'
salary for the year was $651,957 plus expenses
MARCH OF DIMES
It is called the March of Dimes because
only a dime for every 1 dollar is given to the needy.
The United Way
President Brian Gallagher
receives a $375,000 base salary along with numerous expense benefits.
UNICEF
CEO Caryl M. Stern receives
$1,200,000 per year (100k per month) plus all expenses including a ROLLS ROYCE.
Less than 5 cents of your donated dollar goes to the cause.
GOODWILL (I was shocked when I read this)
CEO and owner Mark Curran
profits $2.3 million a year.
Goodwill is a very catchy name for his business. You donate to his business and then he sells the items for PROFIT.
He pays nothing for his products and pays his workers minimum wage! Nice Guy.
$0.00 goes to help anyone! Stop giving to this man.

Instead, give it to ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE IT WILL
DO SOME GOOD:

It would be interesting to know whether the companies that collect various donations at cash registers, etc., are pocketing interest on the money during the many months (in some cases) that they are in possession of it.

why does your ideology not extend to govt and taxes?
Its the exact same premise.....::) only a moron wouldnt understand that...
I give directly to local charities, I dont give to big companies that will first take a % to sustain their operations and then help with whats left over.
Same thing goes for govt...
The irony of your opposing stances is hillarious.

If you're trying to say the government needs to be reformed, I don't think anyone would argue against it.
