I donate to 8 charities. I just started to check salaries, WOW! I think I will just give to very local
Charities from no on.
Over paid my opinion
Shame on the people receiving the money they do from this organization. I won’t give because of this. I hate how they use the children in their ads to promote their wealth.
See the following post for detail of expenses including advertising:
The Massachusetts executive pay is very reasonable while the Colorado exec pay is bordering ridiculous . One question how many tens of millions if not hundreds of millions does Shriners spend on advertising the ads air three and hour on nearly every channel .
Well, we’ll…, now you see where your ” donations ” really go. Knew it all along…, just love to see the top dawgs squirm for excuses when the reality of it all is revealed. No, you don’t need my personal info…, you just need to take the millions that’s being wasted on overpaid executives and Dr’s and put it to use on helping the sick. The next time your out in that power boat, flying dn to the beach house in that private plane, or strolling through your 6000 sq ft mansion…, just think of the kids that are doing without so you can live the lifestyle you live. Don’t want the world to see that part of who you really are…, a compassionate fraud!
I was just about to give my donation but these people make way too high salary, my money is to help these children not to fund these executives. This is truly shameful. The ad of the children got me to this site. They need to change the way they pay salaries. Sorry you lost my respect. Is there any organization I can donate to works 100% interest in the people, please let me know.
We own a small business and want to give back to a couple of responsible charities, the kids on the Shriners ads certainly draw attention, however, once we investigated the money distribution within this cause, we find it nearly impossible to donate our money where executive staff is paid such exorbitant salaries. too rich for us. Sorry.
I Totally agree with all of you,I was thinking of giving donation,BUT!! when I found out how much was being SUCKED OUT,,,,now I am having Strong second thoughts
Glen,
Sf. Jude is no better…
They are all snake oil salesmen.
I was going to donate, but salaries are too high. I will just increase donations to St. Jude.Glen
I agree with Tim M. Tyson. Before I donate to any organization I want to know how much the CEO makes. While I want to donate, I too just can not justify such large salaries. Why do board members need to fly first class for flights 2.5 hours or more?
How can I justify a donation when so many on staff make Sooo much $$$? Aren’t they supposed to be helping the children?
