CNN: Group Gives Only 2 Percent of Donations for Vietnam Vets to Charity

Only a small percentage of the $29 million raised by the National Vietnam Veterans Foundation has gone to actually help veterans, CNN reports.

The foundation, headed up by two military veterans, President Thomas Burch and Vice President David Kaufman, brought in $8.6 million in donations for what its website says is used for "aiding, supporting and benefiting America's veterans and their families."

Burch and Kaufman each took salaries of $65,000 from that.

But the bulk of the $8.6 million – a total of $7.7 million – went to paid telephone fundraisers.

    Very shabby.
    Just like so many other "charitable" organizations that call for donations, like the police and sheriff welfare associations.
