THIS IS AN INTERESTING BREAKDOWN OF WHERE OUR DONATIONS GO AND WHO THEY BENEFIT. 
 
A good reminder with the holiday , giving season ahead.
 
    
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

It is called the March of Dimes because
only a dime for every 1 dollar is given to the needy

UNICEF
CEO Caryl M. Stern receives
$1,200,000 per year (100k permonth) plus all expensesincluding 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.
