Most of these "charities" spent less than 5% of their donations on direct aid. Some spent no money for direct aid at all! It's something to consider always, but especially now during this season of giving.

I find it completely bogus that the Susan G Komen foundation didn’t even make the top 50. I think this is a highly selective list myself.

Any charity that doesn’t give a certain % away should lose their 501c3 or whatever designation.

Any such list that omits the Clinton Foundation is suspect in my book.

Just think of them as modeled after the gold standard for “charities”, The Clinton Foundation.

Many of them were police and fire fighter related,HUGE scams

I get calls from them often-—they get zip from me-—and I like cops and firefighters.

This is why I have only a couple of charities I routinely donate to. High on my list is the Salvation Army and The Fisher House.

Any charity with the word “Justice” in the title is a con job to extort money from companies and the government.

I give only to the Salvation Army because I believe they are the most honest and thoughtful charity. They never appear on charity lists because of their religious affiliation.
