Now this is mind blowing
Joe Rogan “Kids Wish Network:
- They raised $127 million
- They paid to solicitors $109 million
- They spent percentage on direct cash
- Aid to the actual kids is ONLY 2.5%
- Look at the Cancer Fund of America. LESS THAN 1% went to the actual thing”

Sounds a lot like the finances behind with Joe Biden cancer charity
Hillary Clinton must be on the board.
Look at how much graft she took from Haiti. Now this.
Common, most of these organization are about getting rich while giving away as little as possible.
All in all, the above 10 organizations raised $12.6 million for Kids Wish Network but retained $10.8 million, netting Kids Wish Network $1.8 million, which equates to $14 out of every $100 raised going to the organization and $86 out of every $100 retained by the fundraiser. From Kids Wish Network’s perspective, they didn’t have to do any work but were able to obtain $1.8 million after paying fundraiser’s fees. These fees paid for the compensation of Kids Wish Network employees ($900,000), office overhead, travel, and other costs ($600,000), and the $200,000 in cash granted as wish to sick kids.

Numbers like these are why I virtually would never give to charities (if I had any money)
It’s 4% of your money that goes to the needy and the rest to the fundraising organization
Like the Clinton Foundation
Grifting off kids with cancer...and you thought members of Congress were a bunch of evil grifters!
The mafia is taking notes from the pros.
If you want to get rich, hook up with a “Non-Profit” those guys make more profit than just about any For-Profit corporation. (It’s all about the taxes.)
“Common, most of these organization are about getting rich while giving away as little as possible.”
The fundraisers. See my #5
CFA I believe was caught and dissolved in 2016?
Yes...after deciding to attend a local fundraiser my hub started digging into other “501C3s....seems a lot keep @ $7 million in the bank, and then fundraise for the “cause”...and have directors making from $125,000 to $300,000 depending on location...some MUCH more.
This has to be illegal. If it isn’t it should be. You should be forced to have no more than 10% overhead as a “charity”. Period.
That goes for University endowments too. Use it or lose it.
Yep...Form 990 tells the story on many of these “non-profits”
Knock off fake versions of charities trying to get confusion donations. Kids Wish Network is hoping you think they’re Make-a-Wish. They’ve been known to be basically a scam since 2013. Same kind of thing with Cancer Fund of America, who very much are NOT the American Cancer Fund. Nothing really shocking about it. This kind of “hope they confuse us for something better” knock off naming has been in every industry. It’s extra gross for these “charities”, but sadly not new at all.
I don’t do “heart pull” charities. They make me itch. Samaritans Purse gets most of the money even though they have a pretty high overhead. It’s understandable when you are dealing with so many countries.
If this is true, Cancer Fund of America needs to close and return the money. If Rogan is wrong, he’s going to have to settle a lawsuit for huge $$$.
Kids Wish Network
Charity Navigator gives it a 47% score, with a zero-star rating, and explains why the low score/rating at the link.
