A good reminder with the holiday giving season ahead.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
BEFORE YOU MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS:
As you open your pockets to do a good thing
and make yourself feel good,
please keep the following 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 $2.3 million a year.
Goodwill is a very catchy name for his business.
You donate to his business and the n 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.
