A friend of mine worked for the British red cross two/three years ago and he said he was gettng £12 an hour for calling people up to donate, The minimum wage at the time was around £6.50. How the hell can a charity afford to pay it's workers double the minimum wage?

It's not about what happens to the money after you give to what you think is a good charity, they will be judged if they steal from it.
It is about helping those in need, and it's about being a cheerful giver.
Why don't you just give your money to gangbangers and other criminals and ask them to distribute it in the ghetto to whoever needs it? Remember to do it cheerfully.

You are not helping those in need if only 1-5% of your donation goes to the actual cause. Connect with a local charity or church in your community where you can actually see the benefits. Send a struggling family you know a gift card to target or grocery store anonymously. Throwing money at these massive global charities is
You are padding the CEO's and friends/relatives pockets which you are so vehemently against.

Best - Local bars here have trees with tags from kids who typically ask for some type of clothing gift. Go pick a few and shop at some higher end store. The drop off point is some church or vfw type place.
100% of your $$$$ went directly to someone who needs it. Problem solved.
Worst - Any charity where I question where the money is spent.

its good to go local... but the big boys like bill gtes will one day fgre the research for big problems
unicef is spending its money to save kids in india(iodine).. furthering IT and nurse/doctor epidemic... we will need the IT in the future. like RIGHT EFFN NOW!

I don't donate to any charity because 90% go to administrative cost. I remember when Huey Lewis was high in the 80's and he didn't perform at Live Aid because he said 1% of the money would go to the cause.
What I do now around this time are things like this:
When I'm at the gas station and I see a plumber or electrician I fill up their truck/van.
When I am shopping I'll give older folks (what I determine to be grandparents) $200-$300 when they come out of the store.
I will never give to panhandlers. I give money to those who appreciate it.

Holy sh-t, is this where all the crazy people come to post?Plumbers and Electricians have a license to steal. They should be paying for your gas.When I'm at the gas station and I see a plumber or electrician I fill up their truck/van.
I'd rather give my money out and know exactly where it goes. My gut tells me you probably only take and never give!
