Not sure why a charitable organization needs to pay a CEO that much(which I believe was over $300k?)?! Regardless, I withdrew from CFC, and have been very conscious of where my donations go, ever since. I agree on Salvation Army, and many of the others(children's orgs), and I also agree on the Red Cross comments. But, nonetheless, I still believe in giving.
United way pays local leaders 300,000-400,000 in small towns medical dental vision 401K better benefits than most jobs
