Know Where Your Donation Dollars Are Going

  1. I am done with the United way locally. How can I ask my employees to donate when only a small fraction of the money actually helps. Thanks for the heads up Joe.

  3. How do those bloodsuckers like the United Way get away the THAT?
    Seems to me I've seen people go to prison for claiming non-profit charity status a, but keeping most of the money for themselves (a F'ing ROLLS ROYCE??!).
    Two set of laws.
    Keep cheering.

  7. I'm glad I did not. 40 years later in my lifetime, I keep seeing advertisement on TV for help amd donations with children, animals, cancer, health, and etc. Hell, with all of the donation, we should a a cure for all cancer. Even the church ask for 10% tithe. But, look who is driving those fancy cars. Living in the beautiful homes. Building those Mega churches. And, even asking their congregation for a jet so they can fly around the world. Meanwhile, veterans, social security members, and active duty members can't get a cost of living increase. Please, I have never donated money to these organizations. They live off these donations. Let the rich keep writing off their donations for tax purposes to these organizations. All these organizations will survive w/o our donation's.

  8. This exact chart circulates from time to time. The information with respect to United Way of the Eastern Shore, the UW that serves Wic., Som. Wor. and Dor. Counties is incorrect. The local UW as all others in the USA are independent of each other. The only connection to UW National is a requirement to pay in our case approx. $7000.00 annually-essentially for the right to use the name. Even that fee is paid by an anonymous donor. The local UW has a very small staff with approx 17% admin. costs. In other words the remainder of the donations go to the charities. You can't believe what is in print all the time. Our UW is a great organization.
