THINK BEFORE YOU DONATE

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

BEFORE YOU MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS:

As you open your pockets to do a good thing

and make yourself feelgood,

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 expensesincluding 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:

$13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 billion dollar organization.

Thanks for posting. I dont want to downplay the Red Cross support of Superstorm Sandy victims as those people need all our help, but that director salary is insane. Our soldiers in Afghanistan are lucky to earn $20k and their jobs are way more stressful and dangerous. God Bless you guys and gals over there, and around the world.

I like St.Judes and I am glad you exposed those worthless bums collecting a donation to create there

expensive lifestyles they will get theres on that day! Fleecing the flock I call it.

Thank You for this informative post awesome job! Plus one for you.

God Bless You!
