Didn’t WW’s CEO recently try to walk back an appearance on a gun radio show and only make it worse the more he explained. Do I also recall that the guy’s salary was HUGE?
Sounds like WW has no clue about their donor/demographics.
I give a decently sized donation to them every year around Christmas, and if they have some bizarre rationale, I want to know so I can choose.
They may have a very good reason, some kind of tax handcuff of some sort, but...I would like to know more.
I find it is getting harder for me to donate and not feel my money is being misused. Everyone has some kind of reason not to donate here and not to donate there. Every year I give to WWP, The Navy and Marine Corps Relief Society, the SemperFi Fund, the Fisher House, and the USO.
I decided not to give to the USO this year (and donated that elsewhere) because it seemed the USO jumped into bed with JC Penney with both feet, and I have issues with JCP.
It seems like everything has a seamy underbelly. Although, I did have a group I met through the DC chapter of FR who purchased laptops for wounded soldiers, and 100% of the money donated purchased laptops that were delivered...THAT was a great group, but I don’t think they are doing it anymore.
There was some sort of rift over firearms related donations as well. Seems odd to me.
