You are, of course, completely wrong. But don't let that stop you from pontificating.
He's absolutely correct. Targeted donations are a scam. All the charity does is shift funds provided by other, non-targeted donations to adjust for those that are targeted, to get donations where the CHARITY wants them to go in the proportion it wants them to go.
Anyone that buys the targeting pap from these charities should understand that it is total BS.
If you are going to target a donation why go through a middleman? Just give directly to the charity of your choice.
"You are, of course, completely wrong. But don't let that stop you from pontificating"
He of course was completely right. If you give to United Way , you are giving to EVERYTHING United Way supports. Targeted or not , your money goes to the general fund.
Dear Glen,
You obviously have no experience with "Charities". Believe me, from the MS Society to the bogus Red Cross and certainly the PC leftist "United Way" the most highly publicized "charities" are to be kind " ineffective" and to be more truthful, corrupt, self-serving and leftist.
I have served on the boards of several of them.
No pontificating here. Tell me how I am wrong.
What's wrong with this statement?
Whatever an organization gets in for other so called targeted donations frees up money from the rest of the budget for the objectionable activities.
"Excuse me, but there is no way to make a "targeted" donation.
You are, of course, completely wrong. But don't let that stop you from pontificating."
When you target your donation they only shift someone else's
untargeted" monies to other questionnable destinations to achieve the same distribution goals.
