The Salvation Army seems to be OK. But most of the others pay their top folks insane amounts of money. And that includes the well-regarded Fisher House. I know...they're probably worth it...but something about a charity boss making half a million dollars a year bothers me. So I'd rather avoid those charities.

Our local Salvation Army never asks for money, just canned goods and other foods.

Salvation Army is the big one I donate to.

$600,00

Six hundred bucks doesn't sound like a lot.

Both Salvation Army and Lions Club International have no or minimal executive pay.
Most of the rest range from 50 to 99 percent spent on overhead and salaries.

VFW, Disabled American Vets. Both do what they say they are going to do with the donations.

One simple wish. Foster children post wishes and one simple wish connects them with benefactors like yourself. Be careful. You’ll get hooked like me...;)

Franklin Graham III makes over $600,00 per year!

The reason it is so low is that he gets about the same from the Billy Graham organization. Two part time jobs and pulling in over a million a year? No thanks.

Billy Graham led an exemplary life and I assume his son does too. I would not hesitate to donate to him or the Salvation Army.

These Chinese Christians are taking the Gospel of Christ from China, thru Muslim lands, back to it’s starting point, Jerusalem.

These ‘missionaries’ learn basic language skills, for the lands into which they’ll go. Some have already been murdered in the service of Christ the King!

Many Muslims have come to Christ thru Back to Jerusalem. Charity is good; but invest in something for eternity, which will change the world!

Walk down your street...there are people suffering some setback or sorrow everywhere... that either need a little help or just need to have a friend, it does not have to be money, even an offer to run an errand can be a blessing, especially to a person who is a caretaker of an elderly person or a disabled person and has their hands so full that getting a break to go to the hardware store is a challenge.
There used to be a woman back home who had a retarded son to tend to, for example, and she did it without state aide. Not everyone is willing to take welfare because they feel like doing so would be stealing since welfare is funded by taxation. But they would be willing to accept a freely given gift.

I also think the Salvation Army is a worthwhile charity, truly spending donations received on those needing help.

salavation army is one of the very best ... you can’t go wrong donating to them ... and they have several specific causes you can donate to ... or just write on your check what you want the money to go to

red cross is one of the worst ... NEVER donate to Red Cross

I volunteer with Salvation Army. They are the real deal. They actually take no credit for a lot of things they do, like disaster assistance.

You can always send a few bucks to Jim Robinson over at Free Republic...... Oh, wait.
Seriously, no tax advantage here but you for sure know where the money is spent and it ain’t on a 600,000 salary.

I like “Focus on the Family”. Strong families make a strong country, and better children. One radio show for adults featuring various topics about marriage and raising kids, and more, and another radio show for children providing characters with good values in an ongoing story of “adventures”; publications; counseling.

The only way to judge a charity is how much money they bring in and how much is used for charity. Samaritans purse is top notch in this category and well worth giving to. A friend of mine does work for Samaritans purse. When he goes on missions he pays his own way. The only thing he gets is meals and a place to sleep in a dormitory. He has done three trips down to South Texas to help with the cleanup from Hurricane Harvey. He brought his own tractor and front end loader and was compensated zero for this. All his work and time and equipment were free. He did good work for people in need.

Samaritans purse is worthy to donate to. Also the Salvation Army is most worthy. I donate to both.
