I’m a monthly contributor to WW. I too am uninformed.
Please enlighten me.
I suggest you give to DAV
From what I gather, WWP does little in the way of providing services...they take the donations and after paying something on the order of 65% “administrative” costs, portion out the rest to existing organizations...
Any organization that has such high “operating costs” is highly suspect and deservedly so.
The ARC with their 6 figure salaries were probably the impetus for these folks and their 6 figure salaries.
Salvation Army, Disabled Vets of America or a local veterans home would probably be the best bang for your buck.
THINK BEFORE YOU DONATE!
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 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
