Hurricane Harvey has many people questioning the best place to send their charitable donations. Scams and fraud are rampant. Even prominent Arab-American Muslim activist Linda Sarsour got caught redirecting funds donated to Harvey Victims into a liberal political super PAC.
And sadly the Red Cross is another organization you should add to that list.
Despite the Red Cross’s sterling reputation during its early years, globalist greed has crept into their midst.
When the deadly earthquake struck Haiti in 2010, the Red Cross did just about as much good as the Clinton Foundation. Investigative reports show out of the $500 million donated to the Red Cross to help earthquake victims, only 6 small homes were built. Even though the Red Cross promised they’d provide homes to at least 130,000 people with the Haitian relief funds.
Have A Billion Red Cross Dollars At Work
This also happened after Hurricane Sandy, according to investigative reports conducted by NPR and ProPublica.
That brings us to Hurricane Harvey, and the Red Cross has a sickening disclosure to make in connection to how they’re spending Hurricane Harvey funds. Learn more on the next page.
NEVER GIVE TO RED CROSS. Only a very small percentage actually goes to the people in need.
NOT MUCH IT GOES TO PAY THE CEO.
I just looked at their last year financial report.
Forget percentages. Here are some hard numbers from last year.
$118 million to administrative expense
$180 million in Fundraising expenses
So right off the bat. $300 MILLION of your donations each year pays for salaries and marketing/advertising/PR.
Note that in searching for this info, I saw a lot of links to legit source articles suspicious that the $ in financial report that claim to go toward “program services” are actually padded with a lot of money that does not actually include helping people.
Anyway
Yessssss they raise money in the billions and it’s not like they don’t do a lot of good. I just like to give to organizations that use most of my dollars to directly help people. These are often the community orgs you don’t hear a lot about cuz they aren’t spending your donations on promoting themselves. But quick google searches will lead you to them.
Accountability reports must be published regularly! Tooo many frauds out there!
Baptist Disater Relief is Awesome!
Yes but how much did they help after your fire? A night or 2 at a hotel & a $100 or so gift cards to replace lost toiletries & maybe a set of clothes. That’s nothing considering the amount they take in yearly. I know how much they give because my husband use to be a fire disaster volunteer & gave out the gift cards & made the hotel arrangements.
That’s why we don’t donate to them. crooks
Not that much, Salvation Army better
All of it should , but they put so much into personal accounts that they can never tell you how much they have received ! Red Cross is one of the largest thieving organizations on earth !
I never have given to this self center organization, who most important charitable group is themselves, starting with the overpaid CEO and going down the Red Cross organizational chart. They will not tell anyone how much goes directly to relief operations!!!!!
