The salvation army's estimate is about 0.82 of every dollar. The salvation army is an estimate because it's a religious organization and therefore doesn't file taxes like the red cross does.http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/24/pf/donations-charities/index.html(09-13-2017, 10:43 AM)Blindgreed1 Wrote:(09-12-2017, 01:26 PM)Maggot Wrote: The Salvation Army got it. Much better than the red cross. I also heard it was a 50⁄50 between the two.Why so? I know there's a lot of negative media surrounding the red cross right now, but their financial info is a matter of public record and conflicts with what is being reported by the media.
Much of the money given to the red cross goes towards administrative costs the Salvation army has their shit together much better and the end user gets more of the donation.
