“I love the Graham family!”
I always have loved them as well, especially his father.
Possibly, He has turned more people to Christ than any other person in the USA.
However, I was a bit disgusted recently when I went to the tax return for Shepherd’s Purse, headquartered in NC and found that Franklin was taking over $500,000 in salary and another $200,000 in expense reimbursement (most likely housing allowance). I was looking for a good organization to donate after the 2017 hurricanes, figuring they would be more accountable than other large organizations.
I still like the Grahams, but will not send them any money.
It is really hard to find good organizations who are accountable.
Samaritan’s Purse
Try Gleaning for the World, based here in Virginia. They provide both domestic and international relief. Honest charity.
Oh no! St Jude’s, Shriners, Tunnel to Towers, Homes for our Troops on my list.
On the website charitynavigator.org, Samaritans purse gets a 98 percent rating, with Franklin Graham’s compensation at .10 percent of revenue. While 600 thousand may seem like an excessive amount of salary, a charity that takes in almost 600 million dollars a year and works in over 100 countries takes a lot of work and resources.
