The United Way President Brian Gallagher receives a $675,000 base salary along with numerous expense benefits.


UNICEF CEO Caryl M. Stern receives $1,900,000 per year (158K) per month, plus all expensesincluding a ROLLS ROYCE. Less than 5 cents (4.4 cents) per donated dollar goes to the cause.

Whoa. Had no idea. Thanks for posting this ymoilman2!!

Here is another eye opener for you....

Goodwill has ordered top of the line stereo equipment for all of its stores in our area, 45 that I know of and this is most likely nation wide. Now this equipment is set to have different features in different areas. Literaly 100's of thousands of donated dollars is going to this. On top of that blatent misuse they will subscribe to the music service that the installation company runs at the tune of 50.00 per month. So in just the stores in my area that is $2250.00 per month or $27000.00 per year. Now times that by all of the Goodwill Stores across the nation and you can understand why I will NEVER donate to Goodwill again. Wouldn't a little cheap boom box for store music been a better idea? Heck they could use the ones that are sitting around collecting dust at their stores.

Maddening!!!!

The distribution of funds in MOST ALL "charities" is frightening. And try and include the "hidden" money....I used to donate to the local St Vincent de Paul but they said they no longer needed any food donations.( I used to bring fresh bread daily.) Years ago I used to donate day old patries until a homeless person ate one with a nut in it and sued me.....Hmmmm to that...
