[QUOTE="OLDMAN3, post: 1400332"] Brian Gallagher, United Way Worldwide received total compensation of more than $1.5 million in 2012 My former local United Way director (retired) still gets $375,000 a year. Designating your money to a specific charity does not mean they will receive one cent more than they would have otherwise from the United Way...All contributions are fungible. The United Way supports "charities" that many find very offensive, remember your contribution does not truly support a specific charity even if you "designate" your money. In addition, charities which apply for United Way funding incur additional administrative costs to justify their need to the United Way. Say you contribute $100 United way takes $12.50 to $15 for fundraising, paying outrageous salaries, and distributing your money. Individual charities incur approximately 3% additional administrative costs to justify their need to the United Way So the $100 you gave becomes $82 and is distributed to whoever the local United Way board (made up of corporate executives) deems worthy. Some examples are the Shakespeare Theater, wealthy Preparatory Schools, Planned Parenthood, the United Nations Association etc. etc. You may very well agree with funding these specific organizations, but there are likely some you would not.
