the red cross gets my money and my prayers

what they do with it is their business, not mine

~~to all the volunteers who have the heart, time and resources to help on site~~

rip.... it isn't how effective an organization is at raising money "25 spent to raise 100"

It is what they do with the other $75 of the hundred.. mostly it goes to adminestration. I have heard that with the red cross only about 25 cents of every dollar goes toward actually helping anyone who doesn't work for em.. Course... since they started charging for coffee and water at disaster sights they may be picking up a little more..

The highest pay that the executives in Salvation Army can recieve is $30k,,,

That is where the majority of my money goes, the balance goes to a local group called Heart to Heart, great organization started by 2 local doctors.

Personally, I'd like to see the CEO position at ARC become a volunteer position - where a "loaned-executive" from corporate America can spend a year out of their career leading an organization that fulfills a critical need in our country and serves a noble purpose. Then you can take Ms Evan's $450,000/yr salary and buy more food, blankets, medicine, tents, etc.

I`d like to win the lottery too, but I don`t see that happening either.
