THINK BEFORE YOU DONATE!!

Got this as an email from my parents (seen it before) but if you’re interested in helping out a truly good cause this holiday season, check out the list below before doing so…

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE YOU MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS:

As you open your pockets to do a good thing and make yourself feel good, please keep the following facts in mind: 
—————————-

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 permonth) 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 it 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 best way to give during the christmas season is thru your local church, donating time at the food kitchens, christmas tree angels, the christmas shoe box and always remember the vets most organizations that are associated with the vets make sure they get the funds.. all churches this time of year are always looking for volenteers so do something at your church. if you dont have a church find on to donate your time and get involved with one…. God bless and remember its not what you give its the condition of your heart that you give in that counts.. god dosent see what you give he sees that your a happy giver..

    I checked this information and it appears mostly correct in concept but is incorrect if the facts…but has some validity. This website has updated salary figures. The CEO of the Salvation Army makes significantly more than $13,000….http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_charities_salaries.htm

    AS DOES THE CEO OF UNITED WAY….approaching $1 mil! Of course most United Way fundraising happens thru the local affiliate organizations which also have heavy admin to support. Same with the Red Cross….
