Make a Wish CEO admits stealing funds from dying children

Sick children’s charity head stole tens of thousands of dollars while working in top spot

ca.yahoo.com

A lot of Not-For-Profit organizations are scams. Many of them receive money from the government, plus charitable donations from individuals who feel guilty for being too rich. Often most of the money goes right into the Executives' pockets, with a smaller percentage going to salaries of the lower echelon that does fundraising at the personal level, often through unsolicited phone calls. In one case I heard about, senior management of a poverty advocacy organization took a road trip to 'study' poverty in the Bahamas in February.

Every time you give $2 to Twonies for Tummies at a grocery store, the store owner gets thirty-four cents' tax credit, for the charitable donation he made from other people's pockets.

I've heard in the past that often the wishs is geared more to the organizers than the kids.

I always figured as much.

Also I love those food donation bins at grocery stores. Pay full retail price, the store gets the profit. The people in need get what some rando thinks they need. Instead one could... I donno, give the money straight to organizations who can buy in bulk and no doubt get wholesale prices thus extending the dollar further. Also they can buy based on some better understanding of need and want.

I guess I am just a heartless bastard.

Next time, when asked if you want to donate, look the cashier straight in the eye and say with a loud and steady voice: no, I would not like to donate. Let the little bastards suffer because adversity builds character. They don't ask me for the donations at my regular Longo's, anymore.

Ok Karen..let's yell at the cashier making minimum wage and couldn't give to shits if you donate or not

A) don't ask
B) not yelling- "a loud and steady" voice.

 

[NotADcotor]

When someone asks me for money at the cash I just tell them I'm a horrible monster and go on.
It usually provides a giggle. No need to put on a show.

This is an easy one:

cashier: “would you like to donate to ____?”
Me: “no thank you, I have my own charities I give to, but thank you for asking”

Then I take my stuff and forget all about what Sobeys tried to get me to donate to.

This only works karmically, if you do indeed have a charity you give to. If you don’t, then you should get one.

Companies like grocery stores, Canadian Tire and Wal-Mart to name a few asking for donations at check out pisses me off.
They want your money to donate to charities so they don't have to give up any of their money so they can look good in the public eye.

Most charities are sketchy.

 

[Crimson Mire]

I recommend people to donate money directly. Avoid charities whenever you can. At this rate, what charities ISN'T sketchy?

And fuck CEO's, especially for charity groups. There's no need for groups like this to even have a CEO, unless they want profit at the expense of sick people, which is fucked up at best.

Not to mention the seventeen cents on the dollar tax credit they get for donating other people's money.

My brother donates to a charity named Sleeping Children Around the World. They buy blankets, pillows, and mosquito netting, etc. for kids in mostly tropical underdeveloped countries. I told him I don't think kids should be sleeping around.

I donate to a collection box for an Islamic school for orphaned girls in Bangladesh, at the grocery store where I buy amazing quality T-Bone steaks for $5.99 a pound, cut on the spot to your own thickness request.

I like the Muslim custom of charitable donations being anonymous. Any time I get foreign coins in change, I give them to that charity box, because the collection is International.

and I donate directly to homeless people in my Cabbagetown neighbourhood, several of whom I know personally. It never hurts to be in good standing with people who've been to jail, or would risk going to jail if they dislike you enough. One guy I know collects beer cans and liquor bottles all day, so if I see any on my route, (and there's a LOT of public drinking in Cabbagetown and surroundings), I pick them up and put them in a grocery store bag, then throw them in a bin on my porch. He stops by to pick up whatever's in there a couple of times a month.

I tried shoving the steaks into the donation box but it was messy and didn't really work well .

I remember a news story a while back that listed Charties on how much of your donated dollar actually went to the charitable cause.
After everyone stuck their hands in the jar , the sad turtles ,starving kolas and crackless crack babies only got pennies for every buck you handed over .

 

[primetimebob]

That’s why I never do any donations. It’s the fucking CEO that gets rich. They are the one jetting around in private jets and limousine waiting. Fuck that.

I just say, "Already have"

LCBO cashiers are instructed to ask for donations. I don't know if it is the same at grocery and dept. stores, but if it is why give the cashiers a hard time. Complain to the management.

 

[luvyeah]

I can't be out here donating to dying children when I myself am dying for pussy.

The Salvation Army was at the top of the list, (in a good way) for having the highest percentage of donated money actually go to the needy.

Somebody made tens of millions of dollars last year for incorporating the name "Black Lives Matter".
