GIVING (AND TAKING)
As you open your pocketbooks for the next natural disaster, please keep these facts in mind:
The American Red Cross President and CEO Marsha J. Evans’ salary for the year was $951,957 plus expenses.
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 expenses including a ROLLS ROYCE. Less than 5 cents (4.4 cents) per donated dollar goes to the cause.
HOWEVER…The Salvation Army’s Commissioner Todd Bassett receives a salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 billion dollar organization. 96 percent of donated dollars go to the cause.

I do donate to the Red Cross, but not the United Way or UNICEF. I do donate to a bucket load of other charities as well… though none of the others listed here.
hi!, just stumbled onto your blog. i don’t donate to any of those big ones. those salaries are just insane! when my husband worked at UPS they tried to coerce everyone into having auto donations, but we stood our ground. i believe in helping those around me when i see a need.–karen
