JUST A REMINDER!!! Keep these facts in mind when "donating". As you open your pockets for yet another natural disaster, keep the following facts in mind; listed below are the highest (worse paid offender) to the lowest (least paid offender). The worst offender was yet again for the 11th year in a row is, UNICEF.  Only $0.14 from the actual donations goes to the UNICEF cause. The CEO for UNICEF receives $1,200,000 per year.  Perks include Royal Royce limosine for his exclusive use where ever he goes, and an expense account that is rumoured to be well over $150,000. The second worst offender this year is the American Red Cross.  Out of every dollar they bring in, about $0.39 goes to related charity causes. The President and CEO, Marsha J. Evans, her salary for the year ending in 2009 was $651,957 plus expenses. The third worst offender was again for the 7th time was the United Way.  About $0.51 per dollar of income goes to charity causes. The President of the United Way, Brian Gallagher, President of  receives a $375,000 base salary and so many numerous expense benefits it's hard to keep track as to what it is all worth, including a fully paid lifetime membership for 2 golf courses (1 in Canada, and 1 in the U.S.A.), 2 luxury vehicles, and a yacht club membership, Fourth worst offender who was also again in the fourth spot, for every year since this information has been made available, World Vision.  Only about $0.52 of earned income per dollar is available for charity causes. The President (Canada) receives $300,000 base salary, plus supplied $800,000 home included are all housing expenses and taxes, and has a $125,000 expense account. Of the sixty some odd "charities" we looked at, the lowest paid (President/C.E.O/Commissioner) was heading up a charity group right here in Canada. We found, believe it or not, it was...... Ready for this... I think you might be surprised... It is, none other than...  The Salvation Army's Commissioner Todd Bassett receives a salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 Billion dollar organization. About $0.93 of every dollar earned, is readily available and goes back out to local charity causes.  Truly amazing... and well done "Sally Anne" No further comment is necessary..."Think Twice" before you give to your charity of choice as to which one really does the best for the most - or the least for the most, for that matter.
