I can see him being really pissed off if he gave $100 to what he thought would be a good cause and finding that $95 went to bureaucracy and $5 went to the cause when he could have given the $100 straight to the cause.

We know the for profit companies are going to try and maximize profits at all costs.

Even if we want to truly help through a gift of money, there are very few avenues that are effective.

And we wonder why we are all cynical in nature...

The only time we know that are intentions are fulfilled is if we hand the money directly to our intended target. Even then we are probably going to weigh judgement upon how that target utilizes those gifts. :)

It all comes back to that powerful cardinal sin.. GREED.

I'll drop a few bucks into salvation army drops from here to there but in general, when I donate I like to do it in chunks and it's always very important to research who you're giving money to and how much of it goes to what. If you can't find that data anywhere, it's probably a bad sign.

One thing that needs to be looked at, is that most of the times when issues are brought up about this or that charity and where the money actually goes. It is being brought up and looked into by another group who wants the money to go through them instead of the Red Cross or other organization. No doubt the Red Cross has gotten to big for its own good. But no matter the organization, there is cost to what they do. It is easy for smaller and local charities to have lower overhead, but when you are dealing around the world, it costs.

I would like to see those in charge of them all making more reasonable salary, but just like a business you get what you pay for. Is it better to pay someboyd 100K who brings in 2 million in donations or somebody a million who brings in 100million in donation?
