Maybe the corporations wouldn't be so happy to know they're giving 10% of their donation to one individual. But that actually seems like a pretty smart way to incentivize fundraisers, especially if the commissions form the bulk of their salary. Hopefully most of the other 90% goes for it's intended purpose.
Hey, that was 20 years ago, but still, it’s probably similar these days. By the time all the onion layers are peeled off, I’d be very surprised if 50 cents makes it out, after administrative and salaries are paid off.
Hey, here’s an example. All this breast cancer awareness stuff and all...
You’ve probably seen the “5 Hour Energy” commercials running? A big pink campaign, all about the company donating money to BCA.... Well, they say that at a minimum, they’ll donate $75.000 dollars.
Heck, just a couple of their prime time commercials cost that much!
Talk about a scam huh? Well the vast majority of foundations and charities are PURE FRAUD. I seem to recall, that there is a minimum amount that needs to go to charity to meet IRS guidelines, and if I’m not mistaken, it’s like 3%. That is to the best of my memory on this subject, might not be accurate.
