Hmmm - "if you work for a non-profit and you don't give money to charity, what exactly are you doing in this job?" Well, from the charities that I've seen, the money they pay in salaries is far below what the same job in the private sector would pay. Not a fair comparison IMO

- wolfhumble 17y agoIn this case Seth G. didn't say that you have to give a lot to make it count (as he did with Zig Ziglar life insurance quote). If you think something is important, for real, you will prioritize and at least give something even if you have little.
- umjames 17y agoMaybe the person who works for a non-profit doesn't give because he/she knows more about how your contribution dollars are actually allocated. The naive giver thinks that all or most of the money is going directly to the part of the non-profit that does the charitable work. In reality, that part may only see very little (or even none if the donation isn't high enough) of the money. A lot of it may go to administrative costs and internal-facing departments. Like any large organization, a large non-profit has a lot of overhead. I'd like to know if there's a way to know for sure how your donation is actually being used. It would be good that if you found out your money wasn't being used satisfactorily, you could demand your donation back and it would all be legally binding.
