Donating to Charities

Keep these facts in mind when donating.

Advertising may be described as the science of arresting human intelligence long enough to get money from it.

Marsha J. Evans, President and CEO of the American Red Cross…salary ending June 30, 2003, $651,000, $957,000 plus expenses. Probably a lot more now. I quit giving to them during world war 11, when an enlisted man was shipped overseas and his wife with one small child and pregnant with another, needed to go back to their hometown and asked for money for a bus ticket and they refused her. (My husband and I didn’t)

Brian Gallagher, President of the United Way receives a $375,000 base salary, plus numerous expense benefits. (I quit giving to them in 1968, which is a long story also)

UNICEF CEO receives $1,200,000 per year plus all expenses and a ROLLS ROYCE where ever he goes and only cents of your dollar goes to the cause. (And, they use little children to collect for them on Halloween)

The Salvation Army’s Commissioner Todd Bassett receives a salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 billion dollar organization. That is the one to give to. Over the years I have given directly to people that I know are in need or organizations that are small and I know individuals involved and are for needy and handicapped children.

Like some Religions it seems Charities are a great business to be in!!!!!
