When I was in the Air Force they asked me if I wanted to donate part of my paycheck to charity, any charity of my choice. But they also told me that if I was going to donate to any charity I needed to donate more than $10 per paycheck because that first $10 only went to administrative costs and didn’t help out anyone.
Do you see where I’m going with this? This applied to all of the charities! That first $10 went to those people that ran the charities as wages and they paid themselves well! You can make a good living running a charity these days! Check out the Clinton foundation if you want! For that matter, check out the Trump foundation as well.
These are examples of professional altruism and people can make themselves very rich off the generosity of well-meaning people that want to help out others in need by sharing some of their own hard-earned money. These professionals have perfected ways to pry hard-earned money out of our wallets.
The next time that you consider donating to a charity, consider giving food or clothing or other tangible items rather than money. Those items have a far greater chance of actually reaching the people in need! Americans are some of the most generous people in the world with open hearts. There are lots of unscrupulous professional altruists trying to take advantage of that. Ask questions!
