I just don't donate to anything anymore. So many non-profits and charities are total scams that it pulls down the whole space.
When you have cancer and missing children charities giving 2% to their cause and spending the remainder on bullshit it is trivial to make your charity not look as bad.
If you really dig into it, a huge % of charity money is just funding the insiders travel and lifestyle in the name of "fund raising".
This payout is nothing on a relative basis compared to other non-profits and that is the real issue.
- George83728 3y agoI take your approach to large charities, but not small ones. I feel comfortable donating to small locally run charities for which I can personally observe their works. Particularly, my local volunteer fire department. I can see what they're buying (they show it off proudly) and talk with the people who actually do the work there, so I feel that I can trust them to use the money wisely. Sure as hell, nobody there is getting 6-figure severance payments...
