I do charity on my birthdays, instead of donating cash I buy some homeless people food. I think that’s a great way to do it, not sending money to an organization

This isn’t a meme.
It’s an opinion written over images.

This is why I only support charities that publish transparent breakdowns of where the money goes. If they dodge those questions, that’s my cue to walk away.

Feels like I’m funding Mr. Monopoly’s next mansion instead of making a real difference. 😒 Research the charity before donating folks, don’t let your good intentions fund a CEO’s fifth vacation home!

Sources? It’s easy to find a few and then claim “most” and justify not doing anything.

Thats factually wrong. But you just enjoy living life as someone who doesnt care about others so you can actually be the greedy fk on the bottom of that meme.

Indeed. Personally, I’m a fan of the rational altruism methodology. They look for root causes that prevent symptoms in the first place. It can be “cold” in the sense that it doesn’t treat immediate symptoms, but can be measurably more effective.
Also, transparency is non-negotiable for me.

I worked in non-profit for a decade doing very hard, very meaningful work.
This meme is lazy and uneducated.

Even though I never donated anything to him, I have a guy who calls me about once a year for a police charity. I did a little investigating and discovered that if you donate to his charity, 92% of the money goes to paying him. The remainder goes to another charity (probably also him) that also pays 92% to its executives. So less than 1% conceivably goes to charitable causes.

No, I would not like to round up my purchase to the nearest dollar for “charity” to help your corporation get a tax write-off for charitable donations.

Research the charity, check givewell, etc
Sketchy mega church with no public financial records? Your donation is paying for his private plane.
direct releaf, feeding america, etc your money is going to those in need
A lot of charities like red cross are somewhere in the middle, the majority of the money goes to helping people but they do end up paying some people to do logistics, marketing. Things like vaccines and blood need to be kept cold. You have to physically send people to the middle of nowhere to reach people, that kind of thing.
A lot of charities like heart and stroke foundation seem to spend a decent portion (30% ish) on advertising to get people to donate.
Do your own research and make an informed donation.

In germany, a guy who opened a charity organization a decade ago, has been found out that he actually took the money for himself for the most part. The same guy also started beef with almost every youtuber and then started a gofundme campaign to fund his lawsuits and even there he would get 30-70k to shut down any influnecer who criticizes himself or his charity organization

When I saw, years ago, that the CEO of that famous breast cancer fund made 7 figures… I knew nonprofits were a scam.
