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.

Again, I am NOT endorsing ARC.

But 15 ~ 20 yeares ago, United Way had the reputation of wasting large percentage of donation to their executives/admin and ‘stars’ for fundraising. IIRC, Red Cross (at the time under Elisabeth Dole) was ‘cleaner’.

Personal donation aside, if you work in the corporate world, there is NO WAY avoiding United Way or Red Cross.
