Let the recipients raise their own money. Get a credible job and don’t sponge off stupid people.

No reason that 90% plus doesn’t get to the needy. Check the salaries of the executives. Tell me there are not enough retired managers to work for free to manage these charities. No way do I donate to a charity where anyone is getting paid 6 digits or more. There are many folks I can identify that I can help directly. I love those phone calls. I have a field day with them. Nothing but rip-off artists.

For example the article talks about outside contractors being hired to get donations. That money is going to the charity, it’s going to help them get more money.

How else is a non-profit supposed to operate if they don’t use some of the donations to cover things like rent and payroll?

It might cost you more than that to ensure it gets delivered to the right place and the right hands. If half your donation is spent on ensuring the other half goes to help the right people, is it a waste after all?
