Salvation Army, USO are my two.

Red Cross? never

The president of Planned Abortionhood, Cecile Richards, gets $385,163 per year. That's about $1 per abortion.

I give to the USO and DAV.

Salvation Army is a good org to donate to.

They are doing God’s work.

I find it hard to believe, but my late father-in-law said he personally saw the Red Cross charging Servicemen for blood in the Pacific Theater during WWII. He was on a Destroyer Escort (DE) and always gave generously to Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army helps illegals too; they do not discriminate.

....as many VN vets will tell you.
When I was discharged and came home, I was met at the McGuire terminal by two “hosts”..American Red Cross which charged $2.50 for a sandwich and a coke....and FREE coffee and donuts by the Salvation Army.

I’m not too concerned about the executive officer of a large organization receiving a commensurate salary. What is much more important is the other figures on the balance sheet such as the % of the charity’s income actually paid out for the stated purpose of the charity, how much lost as fund raising expenses, general overhead, etc.

I’d agree though with the point of the email. The Salvation Army gives you pretty much the best return on your charitable contribution.

When I was on active duty, we had access to a book that listed not only every charity that a person could tareget thru the Combined Federal Campaign, but also the charity’s main goals and the percentage of the donation that actually went to the intended “helpee”. There was one group, the Red River Foundation (or words to that effect) which set up college scholarships for the dependents of MIA/KIA. They had only volunteer labor, so 100% of the donations went to the cause.

Regarding Red Cross - One year they admitted that funds requested after a major natural disaster are not actually targeted to that disaster. ‘Nuff said.

I usually give a ton of clothes to Purple Heart. Now I am wondering if they give a large % to what they are suppose to?

IBTZ.

This is an urban legend.

[ml/nj]

UNICEF CEO Caryl M. Stern receives $1,200,000 per year (100k per month) plus all expenses including a ROLLS ROYCE.

Better Stern gets it than the Palis.

I give via my taxes.

Thank you, THANK YOU for posting this...
It has been a pecadillo of mine for a long time that these orgs pay their “CEOs” an ungodly amt of money. I found out abt the Amer Red Cross top pay when Liddy Dole was head...and if her’s was so bloody high, imagine the pay of those directly below...
Would love to see the stats on how much of the dough gets to those who need it...
