Who else was going to dust and mop the Charity and/or Wilson's home? I don't see any of those begging for and receiving charity jumping up and down to do it.

I used to really think Russ was a great guy. The last couple of years has made me change my mind a bit.

reported it spent almost $600,000 — or just 24.3 cents of every dollar — on charitable activities in 2020 and 2021

nearly twice as much, $1.1 million, on salaries and employee benefits in that span, according to federal tax records.


The real charity is all the do nothing jobs he's able to give his "friends"

Charity Navigator is a good site to check out before donating to anything. The variance in funding between programs is enormous even for charities that do obstensibly the same thing.

This is also why we choose to not donate to these types of charities and stick local or try to give directly to that person/family. Maybe that’s ignorant but it feels like our money goes much further this way.

I always ask if they would mind rounding it down and give their part to the charity.

What? They don't get to claim that as non-taxable income. It washes through their books as amount in/amount out. It would be illegal for them to claim that on their taxes.

No it's not. But don't let facts get in the way of your political statement.
