John, can you post this message on the Skype rooms so that it will all be displayed? About 1/4 of the text is cut off of the right hand margin in my browser. I have tried it with Firefox and IE and both cut it off! Thanks, Mark
It is posted in the skype rooms. Glad to do it.
The data posted here about the American Red Cross, United Way, UNICEF, and Salvation Army are all completely wrong, and in fact backwards.
The Salvation Army, listed here as the best of those four in terms of charity efficiency, is in fact the worst of them, according to the standard for evaluating charity efficiency, CharityNavigator.org, as well as Forbes magazine. In decreasing order of charity efficiency, the list should actually look like this:
UNICEF: 92% of donated dollars go to the cause.
American Red Cross: 92% of donated dollars go to the cause.
United Way: 85% of donated dollars go to the cause.
Salvation Army: 82% of donated dollars go to the cause.
Given the complete misrepresentation of the fact posed by these four charities, I can only wonder about the accuracy of the remaining claims of zero-dollar salaries and the unmentioned charity efficiencies of these others. Does anyone have that data, or is this merely a copy-and-paste-unsubstantiated-rumors-from-other-websites kind of place, like almost all other right-wing sites?
