    Many charities have organizational costs that eat up anywhere from 50 to 80% of all donated monies.

    In the Navy, in boot camp......they ask if you want a portion of your pay to go to charity, and provide a booklet of all the charities out there...........but each are rated........from Excellent, to flat out RIP OFF.

    I was surprised to learn, that one I had already been supporting for years.......had a terrible rating.........meaning they WASTED or spent most of the donated money on internal salaries for directors or overhead costs.

    That was extremely disappointing to see. So I picked the ones with far better excellent ratings.......where the money actually goes to the intended cause.

    This is fine outfit, serving a worthy cause.......but sounds like that new CEO needs to be replaced ASAP.

    That's not the first time the WWP has been shown to only help those that run it.

    Just a quick g00gle search will give you plenty of worthwhile ones.

    my usual ones are the USO and Salvation Army.

    It's always seemed to be a scam
