None of it is true. This is a longstanding slander of the charities
with names and amounts that have been circulating since 2005.
*About.com* classified
it as an urban legend.
 
The search was easy. I googled salaries of CEOs of charities and several
notices came back. Some of them do get a lot of money but none gets as much
as the original message reports. And, none gets as little as was reported
for the Salvation Army.
 
I was glad to read the report since I like to help support UNICEF and
several others that are named.

Another example of dirty tricks in the name of God! This is sad, and I'm
very sorry to hear about it. This ignorance is unfortunately everywhere.

Deplorable if true.
How have Christians responded to this? Does anyone know.

Think Before You Donate
 
 

 

 
 
THINK BEFORE YOU DONATE
 
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
BEFORE YOU MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS:
 
As you open your pockets
to do a good thing
 
and make yourself feel
good,
please keep the following facts in mind:
 
----------------------------
 
The American Red Cross
President and CEO Marsha J. Evans'
 
salary for the year was $651,957 plus expenses
 
MARCH OF DIMES
It is called the March of Dimes because
 
only a dime for every 1 dollar is given to the needy.
 
 
The United Way
President Brian Gallagher receives a
$375,000 base salary along with numerous expense
benefits.
 
UNICEF
CEO Caryl M. Stern receives
 
$1,200,000 per year (100k per
month) plus all expenses
 
including a ROLLS ROYCE.
 
Less than 5 cents of your donated dollar goes to the
cause.
 
GOODWILL
CEO and owner Mark Curran profits
$2.3 million a year.
Goodwill is a very catchy name
for his business. You donate to his
business and then he sells the items for PROFIT.
He pays nothing for his products and pays his workers minimum wage! Nice
Guy.
$0.00 goes to help anyone! Stop giving to this man.
 
----------------------------
 
Instead,give it
 
ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
 
to the SALVATION ARMY.
 
GO "GREEN" AND
PUT YOUR MONEY
 
WHERE IT WILL
DO SOME GOOD:

$13,000 per year
(plus housing) for managing this $2
billion dollar organization.
