The "Really ?!?!?!?!" Thread

The other warning is if you get called by someone representing the charity it does not mean they work for the charity. Many companies raise money for charities but keep some before turning over to the charity. It is best to give directly to the charity not to a solicitor.

The fraternal organizations (police, fireman, etc) often use 3rd party solicitors so they do not get a lot of the money.

There are "veteran" groups that spend a lot on fundraising which they treat separately as admin costs.
 
It's disgusting how many self entitled SOB's are out there taking advantage of peoples contributions to "charity".

Whenever in doubt about how much of your donation is being sucked up by "administrative" overhead, Charity Navigator is a great go to resource:

I spent one summer working in Shriners Hospital for Children - Boston. I was blown away by the experience: every single patent was being treated 100% for free by one of the most dedicated staff of professions I've had the honor of working with. I've got mad respect for those old Fez hats wearing men parading along in their funny little cars.
 
Vice President Joe Biden told a roundtable in Davie, Florida on Thursday that it was a “totally legitimate argument” that sanctions relief will enable Iran to “do more of the bad things they’re doing now” like fund terrorism and destabilize the Middle East.

The relief as part of the nuclear agreement reached in July totals roughly $100 billion. Iran funds Hezbollah and Hamas, among other terrorist groups, and is the world’s leading sponsor of terror.

Biden, while defending the deal to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.) and a group of Jewish supporters, addressed the financial benefits for Iran as a result of the agreement.

“Well, Joe, even if I believed you were able to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, you’re going to give them a whole lot of money, Joe Boy!” Biden said with a laugh. “And they’re going to go out and do more of the bad things they’re doing now, do it more efficiently and threaten our friends in an existential way because they’ll have so much more money and capacity. Totally legitimate argument and concern.”

Heard about this dude on Stern.

He hasn't taken a shower or bath in 12 years.

I bet his feet smell real bad.

As a federal employee at Arlington National Cemetery, Bobby Bennett Harris was authorized two fuel cards to maintain vehicles assigned to the nation’s most famous burial site.

But he got caught using those cards to fill up his personal SUV. What tripped him up?

One of the cards that paid for gasoline was assigned to an all-electric vehicle. Oops.

“Yes, that was an obvious sign,” Eric Radwick, special agent for the General Services Administration, deadpanned in an interview with Watchdog.org.
