Keep these facts in mind when "donating".
As you open your pockets for yet another natural
disaster, keep these facts in mind:
Marsha J. Evans, President and CEO of the
American Red Cross...
Salary for year ending 06/30/03 was $651,957 plus expenses.
(That's $74.42 an hour for EVERY hour of EVERY day.)
Brian Gallagher, President of the United Way receives
a $375,000 base salary, plus numerous expense benefits.
(That's $42.80 an hour for EVERYhour of EVERY day.)
UNICEF CEO receives $1,200,000 per year plus all expenses
and a ROLLS ROYCE car where ever he goes and only
cents of your dollar goes to the cause.
(That's $1369.86 an hour for EVERY hour of EVERY day.)
The Salvation Army's Commissioner Todd Bassett receives
a salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing)
for managing this $2 billion dollar organization.
No further comment is necessary. Think about
this the next time you're asked to reach for your checkbook.
I don't know how these people sleep at night!! Not your usual humour, Odie .... but it needed saying. Thanks for posting and have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty revolting.
ReplyDeleteCall me a curmudgeon but I never donated to any of them except the Salvation Army and occasionally Goodwill.
Excellent and informative post, Odie. I will tweet this link.

ReplyDeleteAdmiral ... you like that, huh.

ReplyDeletethis is disturbing.
ReplyDeleteWe only give to local charities.
We stopped giving to these big ones years ago after doing a lot of research -- shocking really.
Animal shelters, and battered women's shelters usually get the first of our donations.
bonkful week-end Mr. Woodsters
