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.

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.

Come on you people, it's the current year! Give us your money! We call it charity and you can feel good about yourselves. So can we when we spend it.

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.

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??

https://archive.is/7W6r3 :
'Yet accompanying many requests for aid comes a warning – do not give your money to the American Red Cross (ARC). '
'Responding to the report, the American Red Cross said in a statement it was “disappointed, once again, by the lack of balance, context and accuracy in the most recent reporting by ProPublica and NPR”. '
'As the death count after Hurricane Matthew approaches 900 and reports of deadly cholera outbreaks begin to surface, Haitians have sent out desperate pleas for help. '
'Instead, an estimated 55,000 Haitians are still living in tents or other makeshift shelters and few advances in disaster planning have been implemented. '
'Yet critics argue that the money was not used so Haiti could be “built back better”, as officials had promised. '
This has been an automated message.

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.
