What I have not seen here is a true explanation of the nature of this charity. A charity like the Salvation Army delivers over 90% of their donations to the end user. With the Salvation Army, the process is the product, meaning that the people they are helping are integral to the daily operations of the charity.
Most of the “donors” to the Freedom Alliance are actually purchasing a product. They are buying tickets to concerts. That product (the concerts) costs something, actually quite a bit, to produce. So, I believe that the analysis by Debbie Schlussel may be somewhat unfair in that it does not lay out all of the facts. Clearly, there may have been excesses, and Mr. Hannity should really consider how opulently he needs to be accommodated. I just don’t think it’s fair to expect a charity of this nature, where the “donors” are receiving a benefit for their “donation” to be held to the expectation that 75% or more of the gross income should go to the end user. Clearly there are huge expenses that need to be taken care of before there is a profit to go to the end user.
