I stopped donating to the ARC once I heard how much their upper management made. Give to the Salvation Army. You get more bang for your buck.

my dad fought in ww2 and hated the red cross.
he said that they would charge for sandwiches and drinks while other organizations like the salvation army would give them to the troops for free.

This right here! I hate the Red Cross, my relatives who are vietnam war era vets had nothing nice to say about the red cross.

You're still upset about a 200-year old slave revolt?

Little respect for people who, six years after the earthquake, have left 90% of the rubble still lying in the streets. They've managed to produce bumper yields of babies each year though! Where is the point in constantly forking out aid if they won't pick themselves up and try to stand on their own??

It is not the American Red Cross, they put the money on banks to earn more money.
I stopped donating since I feel betrayed that they use that money for other groups that I donated to. Sometimes groups that I would never donate money to. So I stopped donating money.

Non-profits are largely a scam. For example a lot of them only give 10% to charity and the rest goes to female administrators with egos who are feminists. I would rather give coins to a man on the street who will likely just spend it on booze to give him a moment of comfort.
