A TIMELY REMINDER BEFORE YOUR GENEROUS SPIRIT OPENS YOUR WALLET. The American Red Cross President and CEO Marsha J. Evans' salary for the year was $651,957 plus expenses | MARCH OF DIMES It is called the March of Dimes because only a dime for every 1 dollar is given to the needy. | The United Way President Brian Gallagher receives a $375,000 base salary along with numerous expense benefits. | UNICEF CEO Caryl M. Stern receives $1,200,000 per year (100k per month) plus all expenses including a ROLLS ROYCE. Less than 5 cents of your donated dollar goes to the cause. | GOODWILL CEO and owner Mark Curran profits $2.3 million a year. Goodwill is a very catchy name for his business. You donate to his business and then he sells the items for PROFIT. He pays nothing for his products and pays his workers minimum wage! Nice Guy. $0.00 goes to help anyone! Stop giving to this man. |
Instead, give to any of the following GO "GREEN" AND PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE IT WILL DO SOME GOOD: The Salvation Army Commissioner, Todd Bassett receives a small salary of only $13,000 per year(plus housing) for managing this $2 billion dollar organization. 96 percent of donated dollars go to the cause. | The American Legion National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary.

Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth! | The Military Order of Purple Hearts National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth! | Vietnam Veterans Association National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth! | Make a Wish: For children's last wishes. 100% goes to funding trips or special wishes for a dying child. | St. Jude Research Hospital 100% goes towards funding and helping Children with Cancer who have no insurance and cannot afford to pay. | Ronald McDonald Houses All monies go to running the houses for parents who have critically ill Children in the hospital. 100% goes to housing, and feeding the families. | Lions Club International 100% OF DONATIONS GO TO HELP THE BLIND, BUY HEARING AIDES, SUPPORT MEDICAL MISSIONS AROUND THE WORLDTHEIR LATEST UNDERTAKING IS MEASLES VACCINATIONS (ONLY $1.00 PER SHOT). |

Our tractor club donates to StJudes, Shriners and Ronald McDonald house. In 25 yrs I think the amount is near $80,000.00. Very proud of our accomplishments. I wish it was that much a year.

Most of that information is bogus. For instance, Mark Curran has nothing to do with Goodwill. It's true that many charities pay their leaders more then I feel they are worth but all real charities have to list their financial info every year and it is easily accessible. Remember, at least half of what you read on the internet is not true, (other then on this site, in which almost everything, except for what Shameless says, is true).

as for charities, I only donate to the Red Cross. Give them a pint of O+ every 2-4 months. So far 97 'donations to the vampires'. Hopefully make 100 next year. don't believe in giving cash to any BUT if you need veggies,tools,wood or help...you know where I live. gave a brand new cedar door the other day to neighbour even delivered it, when he asked 'how much', I said 'nothing ,but if your hens are alaying, a dozen eggs would be great !' I got TWO dozen !! Jay

I couldn't find anything about the ones above. One listed as a good 1 to contributate to is Wounded Warriors. Those guys and gals need all the help they can get. Ronald McDonald house was another listed as good to donate your money. All it takes is a Google search. Look them up.

Seen this many times over the years - keep thinking the Red Cross keeps getting big names and high salary individuals at the top - then has problems at the bottom when it comes to help. Goodwill - seems it's where i shop now for many things , and when I had foot surgery I borrowed medical supplies from them (NO CHARGE) for 3 months use . Also my grandson worked at Goodwill as part of a training program from High School . Paid well and was a good learning tool for him . As for so called paid individuals - they have created JOBS for many and also in the recycling of goods that otherwise would be trashed . So Goodwill will keep being someplace I shop and donate merchandise to but as far as CASH outright nope . Then one sees these pleas for ONLY $19 a month now on TV from every form of so called charities of DO GOODERS - Save the Animals, children, refugees, holocaust survivors in Russia, and whatever else can make you part with your earnings .

Locally we have a Honor Bus that take Vets to Washington D.C. with all expenses paid that take donation. It's a great trip and your spouse can go along for $250.00

Red Cross is HUGE and works around the world... They do BEST what no one else can do... I contribute to United Way also.. they do a lot of good LOCALLY for many groups.... In times of real need, FEED AMERICA is a great way to help the needy kids... also local Food Banks keep it local, and they are tied to Feed America.

Breaking Costs Down: How Much Goes to Charity?Per their https://www.unitedway.org/annual-report/2018-annual-report" rel="nofollow - Annual Report for 2018 , United Way Worldwide claimed combined administrative, non-operating and fundraising expenses of 5%, meaning that they spend approximately 5 cents for every dollar donated on organizational costs, and the other 95 cents go directly towards community projects. This is well below Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance http://www.give.org/for-charities/How-We-Accredit-Charities/" rel="nofollow - Standards for Charity Accountability that allow up to 35%in overhead costs. Each local United Way agency, however, is different, so the first thing you need to do is find your local agency's information about its overhead costs.

I've found that supporting organizations like Red Cross, United Way, and Feed America can make a real difference in people's lives, both globally and locally. It's reassuring to know where your contributions are going and the impact they're making.
