I give randomly.
I don't just give my money away to any ORG. Sometimes I give to random folks, friends and family, food cupboards, fire depts, toy drives and clothes drives.
Maybe you should read this thread before donating to the Salvation Army the next time.The Salvation Army is one of my favorites. They use a very very small amount of donations for advertising and overhead. They spend almost nothing (like a $14,000 a year salary) on their CEO and supposedly 96% of money donated actually goes toward charity. Money donnated to the Salvation Army does not go toward enriching their CEO as it evidently does in other charity organizations, by way of huge salaries to the CEOs, such as with UNICEF or The American Red Cross.
