This should make everyone angry

There are charities where 0.0% of the money collected went to the charity focus.

I urge anyone considering donating to a charity to check out the charity at

Remember, you can pull the IRS form 990 of any Non Profit Charity at

Unfortunately, charities have become cash cows because they prey on people's emotions and good intentions - classic confidence game scam.

Takes a pretty scummy person to exploit a charity for personal gain. Unfortunately, we have plenty of scummy people in the US.
