It is, Salvation Army as usual!

It is, Salvation Army as usual!

This information will be useful when you are asked for your next charitable donation.

Sharing what was shared with me ...

As you & I continue to open our deep pockets for this disaster, that crisis, or the next whatever catastrophe, please keep these facts in mind:

The American Red Cross

President and CEO - Marsha J. Evans

salary for the year 2010

was $651,957, plus all personal, medical,
& pension expenses.

Less than 10 cents of your donated dollar
actually goes to the cause.

The United Way

President - Brian Gallagher receives a
$375,000 base salary,

along with numerous personal & family
expense benefits.

Less than 12 cents of your donated dollar
actually goes to the cause.

UNICEF

CEO - Caryl M. Stern receives $1.2 Million
per year (100k per month)

plus all living & housing expenses,
including a ROLLS ROYCE.

Less than 15 cents of your donated dollar
actually goes to the cause.

The Salvation Army

Commissioner - Todd Bassett receives a
salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing)

for managing this $2 billion dollar

organization.

96 cents of all donated dollars go to the cause.

I don't think any further comment is necessary.. Please share this with friends.

Hurricane Camille devastated parts of the gulf coast in 1969 or 1970. I operated an air terminal at the Gulfport, Ms. airport during the aftermath/recovery. The Salvation Army was the ONLY organization GIVING AWAY donations for the asking. When I discovered this every shipment not expressly addressed to anyone was sent to them for distribution. In my book they are the best and always have been.
