Wounded Warrior Project also spends an inordinate amount on advertising. To some that is bad as it is part of the reason why only 58% goes to wounded vets. But it is also why the organization has increased its contributions so dramatically over the years, meaning more money for wounded vets.
See the link at post #5. Looks like a bunch of people are making big bucks in compensation.
I don’t want to bad mouth the organization as I don’t know much about it, but the percentage of contributions actually going to the cause is too low. Really reputable charities should put at least 80% into their cause.
This sort of thing drives me crazy. I can't believe that there's no qualified retired general or admiral who couldn't run the organization at 1/3 of that salary. Heck, even $100,000 a year is a lot of money.
