Maybe there’s something wrong with me, but if I donate to a charity (especially a medically-related one like the heart or cancer societies, or the March of Dimes), I expect them to spend the money on the cause to which I donated. Yeah, there are always administrative costs - not a big deal, unless it is abusive. However, donating to another charity IS ABUSIVE of the trust of the donors.

I’m glad that I never gave to Komen, and I’m going to stop putting soda can tabs away for those that do.

Don't stop.

Just give them to Ronald McDonald House Charities instead.
