This year, the Red Cross has been subject to a barrage of criticism. But that criticism ultimately springs from one source: a series of articles that ProPublica has been writing on the Red Cross’s effectiveness, sometimes in collaboration with National Public Radio. I wrote about these articles at Philanthropy Daily three years ago. But ProPublica has continued their work and it is long past time for an update.

Publishers Notes: It should be noted, WBOC and the Salvation Army donations over the 2017 Holiday season were down dramatically over the past few years.

I might be off a couple of dollars but google it , the lady in charge of the red cross gets over $650,000 a year plus many write offs , the Salvation Army head gets less than $40,000 a year. were is the money going with the red cross?
It doesnt go where it should joe put up a posting while ago that actually shows most money goes into peoples pockets
NOPE!
Sorry, but the Red Cross is off my donation list.
This reminds me of a story told to me by a lady who has since died. She had a extreme dislike for the Red Cross. She was a army nurse during WWII, she told the story of the Red Cross giving coffee to German POW but making allied soldiers pay
Throughout my life anyone dealing with the Red Cross hated them. At least dealing with them in a disaster.
As was pointed out they pay outrageous salaries at the top. On scene of a disaster they come in and take control forcing the good work of others to stop. Meanwhile what they provide seems to be largely a service for businesses affiliated with them to profit. Profit at the expense of those needing help after a disaster.
I would not give a penny to them. The Clinton's partnered with them and built 6 substandard homes at the low cost of 14 billion dollars in Haiti. Ask any Haitian how much help they got.
