I heard the same about literally every other charity.
My take is: people will always remember that one negative article they read once, and assume everything is wrong. I would suggest asking them "so, which one is good?", and see whether they know what they are talking about.
(Disclaimer: I don't donate to the Red Cross now, but I've done it)

- will_brown 9y agoI get a little nervous when I hear about a new fund but its run through an existing 501(c)(3), Greater Houston Community Foundation. 501(c)(3)'s must disclose their finances to the IRS where they are publicly available. I didn't look at that rather an audit summary, some highlights: 2016 income: $197M Total Assets: $529M 2016 CEO compensation: $379,139 Board size: 14 Estimated total Salary of Board: 10% of income ($19.7M)...this should definitely be verified in light of CEO compensation. Program Expenses: Estimated 65% of funds spend on program activities.
