Got this in an email. It's C&P; but many on this forum seem to prefer C&P.
Before you Donate~~~
Check out Goodwill
Think about these before you donate.
As you open your pockets to do a good thing and make yourself feel good, please keep these 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 per
month) plus all expenses including a ROLLS ROYCE . Less than 5 cents of your
donated dollar goes to the cause.
GOODWILL
CEO and owner Mark Curran profits $2.3million 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 SALVATION ARMY.

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Did you check on the truthfulness of these figures or did you just post what you got in the email?
I have seen similar viral emails going around. Some were WAY off on truth and accuracy.

Amen. I always figure folks who complain about charity will eventually need it someday.

+1 and typically the ones who copmlain the most are the least likely to donate in the first place.
Union Gospel Mission.
Yep, that or the local food bank.
She makes about 1/25 of what is stated.
Check it out for yourself, type in any charity, click the box to the right,then search. www.charitynavigator.org
Find one that interests, local or global and google their website.
According to it, Unicef is $455,000 March of dimes is $632,000 Salvation Army is not tracked by group in link.
Think I will stick to supporting local groups.
Used to donate to St. Judes every month, until I found out some negative things.
Basically the CEO, and COO make a combined million bucks a year.
If you are running a charity, I think you need to give a little yourself, and don't like it when I see a salary over 200K a year.
Depending on the year, my charitable contributions run between 4 and 5K for the 'gum flappers' talking about complainers not giving.
