[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 982333, member: 4886"] SupeNazi. I don't disagree that the overhead of lots of charities seem high. Also the pay for the head officers in charity organizations is also high. I wish it was lower. However, as I said before, since I know a lot of people who have cancer I want my donations to go to helping to prevent and cure cancer. The ACS has 28% of it's money's going to overhead. of which 21% is for fundraising and Mgmt and 7% for general administration. I will admit, I wish it was lower. However, if I give a dollar to the ACS then $.72 goes toward helping people with cancer and\or trying to defeat cancer. If I give a dollar ot the United Way and direct that money to go to the ACS, then $1 - United Way overhead of approximately $.15 leaves $.85 towards the ACS, of that only 72% gets to my goal or $.61 of every dollar. So if my goal is to help out the ACS, why should I give it to the United Way to give it to the ACS? What irked me is that it isn't real clear how directed donations still have overhead taken out before being given to the charity. [/QUOTE]
