I led the United Way campaign at our pretty large institution back in the day. There was a scandal (mid to late 90s, I think) and felt kind of guilty pushing it as such a noble charity. There are a few that have a very low administrative cost but not many. Our Sec of State's Office maintains a listing of all registered charities and the percentage that actually gets to its targeted group(s).

Nope.
They don't want my racist money.

Passed one going into Sam's a few days back with the gf and she reached in her purse, I told her we'd give on the way out and she obliged. As we shopped I showed her the nonsense quotes from those idiot higher-ups and she told her whole family afterwards. I commend the bell ringers but the SA can gtf.

Not anymore. I used to love seeing them spreading Christmas cheer.

Donating to charities is a joke. They might spend 10% on actual needy people and the rest goes into their pockets

Salvation Army
United Way
Red Cross
All fraudulent companies hiding behind charities doing good for those in need.
I am sure there are more out there but these are the big three I can think of.

I've been doing local charities with specific targeted missions for years. I've been done with the "big box" charities for a long time. Too much admin waste.

I'm black, but I won't and don't support any of these Marxist run organizations.
The Salvation Army can RIP, but that's probably exactly what the Marxist wanted.....to kill a good American Org.

Never have and probably never will.
I donate to the Houston Food Bank and give items to Goodwill.

No. I donated to buy toys for children who had lost their homes in the recent tornados.

I felt really bad walking by the SA guy outside of Hobby Lobby today ... but I'm donating elsewhere AND I'll never apologize for being who God made me to be.

I almost feel bad for the folks standing out there, but they kind of dug their own grave this year by insinuating that a majority of their donors are racists.
I'll give a few bucks to the bell ringers because the woke crapola is way over their heads but the larger donations I generally make quarterly have been placed on hold until further notice and evaluation.

I listen to Prager a good bit during the week. I understand that he’s giving them a chance to correct their course, but I have to wonder how an organization like this got so lost in the first place. It would take some doing on their part to win me back. And not just a change of leadership, but a public statement and apology. It would be easy enough to claim that they were doing it for the right reasons, but I suspect we won’t get any such announcement. I’m talking about somebody would have to really fall on the sword and beg forgiveness, whereas I suspect at most we may get some sort of “misguided but well-meaning decisions were made”.
Sorry, that won’t cut it.
