Food banks are charities. Execs get paid. Drum up a crisis, get more funding. They get paid massively! NGO Executives absolute lowest form of life! They are massive crooks 🤬☠️, profiting from the poor.

One of the ladies I just took away for the weekend is an actuary for a NGO. She told me all donations go to staff salary, whilst all govt grants go to aid.

What a political mindfield so the aid comes from governments fark! So many problems there especially for Africa. African government does not allow any foreign donations in the form of medication. My pharmacist friends were going to give a heap of antibiotics etc and I was going to arrange shipping to my friends in Africa who would then distribute out to their local hospitals. But nope their government does not allow it.

They are a revolving door of 'connected' execs. Those positions are often not even full time. They show up for board meetings and collect their salary. I've put plenty of time into charitable work in the past. Not any more. Worst of the lot of them is our own good old RSL. Less than 0.5% of funds raised actually go to veterans. Rest goes to executives, poker machine lisences, the footy club of a kid who is the great grand son of a deceased WWI veteran (happened near Melbourne). I personally raised around $5k for a local RSL a few years ago. It got audited a few years later and the whole lot had gone to the committee who had decided to pay it to themselves. Fark them. My charity is now my family and nobody else.

I like to give any donations directly to the person who needs it. Like the big wad of cash I gave to my local RFS, or the few dollars I recently gave to this woman, down on her luck, who was crying at the petrol station because she was $2 short and nobody gave a shit.

Now that's the stuff I'm taking about! We do the same if we see someone in trouble we will directly help them ourselves. Like the old pensioner I know from work who has cancer and he was short on groceries and was struggling at the supermarket. So we helped him with his shop, paid for it and loaded it in his car. Reckon he'd be fine once he got home as his son would be coming home from work and he could bring his groceries in for him. Yes his family helps him but he still likes to get out.

Please also remember folks virtually all charities have very left leaning corporate policies and culture! For example virtually all NGO and Charities are absolutely against Private Firearm Ownership and Hunting!!

I used to help out a charity called" Insulin For Life " until I found out the majority of volunteers worked their ass off where the top of the chain execs ( mainly just one) used the funds to fly him and his daughter to the country's they support to check out their facilities. Did the daughter help out, don't be stupid!

There have been numerous investigations on chugging organisations. In a nutshell, the owners make an absolute killing by hiring backpackers to solicit donations from pedestrians. They are paid collectors, not volunteers. The cut they take is astounding. The backpacker gets around 10%, the owner and coprorate structure takes around 80%, leaving almost nothing for the charity. What is particularly deceptive are the claims that 'all funds go to the charity'. This is notionally true. 100% of your money goes to the charity. The chugging company then sends an invoice to the organisation for fundraising fees. As a rule it is 95% of the first years donation, 50% of the second and 25% of the third year. As most people end their monthly donation within the first year, the charity generally gets very little. Most of your money goes to a rich piece of sheet who lives in Sydney.

Its the same for those Lions Club etc mints they sell for a dollar at the banks etc. My brother contacted them to see how he could help out by getting some for sale at his business, but decided against it when the rep straight out bragged about how much commission he got for every unit sold. As it turns out, the charity only got something like 6c in every dollar.
