No, that doesn’t necessarily mean charities that you disagree with, but organizations that collect a whole bunch of money and don’t use very much of it for a charitable purpose. The worst is right in Florida, and is called the Kids Wish Foundation. Records show that it has collected $127.8 million in donations, only $3.2 million of which actually went to helping any dying children. Check out the Top 50 list to see whether any names look familiar.

This has been going on for years , however , during this administration (Obama) it has gotten worse. I work for one of these , most of the money goes to hired employees , with trips to everywhere including Vegas. When someone mentions the waste , the answer is " maybe so but we do employ many people , that's what Obama wants. Some of these people draw a large salary and don't have a clue of what their area of responsibility is.
Absolutely zero productivity!!!!!!!
Salvation Army is the best one to donate to.
No more "pink ribbon" donations from me as they give money to pro abortion Planned Parenthood.
I agree with 8:56.
