The holidays are coming up quickly, and they're bringing the
spirit of giving with them. Aside from giving presents to loved ones and
friends, generous people often donate to charities around this time of
the year. The holiday season is also one of the more profitable times of
the year for most non-profits. However, you should be careful where you
give your money. A recent report by the Tampa Bay Times shows
exactly how much of your donated money goes to help the intended cause,
and calls out the most wasteful non-profits in America.

I was just saying that I would never donate to the Red Cross.

They were not on the list that I found.

The Canadian government took the blood services away from the Red CrossThere was a massive scandal in the 1980's when they failed to test donated blood and many people, particularly hemophiliacs contracted HIV as a result.

Canada now has a totally separate company managing the blood services.

I would not give them a dime.
And I refuse to donate blood to them.

They have a great reputation over the years and do not waste money like most of the others. Even their chief executive do not make high salaries.

That's BS and you know it. No one is born ***. We are all born into sin however. Your blind belief in liberal indoctrination that you think is science is appalling. Real science debunked the BS that you are born ***.



Yes hiv has been spread by the bi's and now it's everywhere vbut it's predominantly in *********** that have aids.

...ALL veteran's charities are MEGA SCAMS !!....We throw away $600 BILLION a year on the military; why do disabled veterans need charity??...I'm a Vietnam veteran, and I took a bullet through the right lung. No one has EVER done anything FOR me because of my military service. The only thing all you good patriots ever did was throw baby food on me and scream "baby killer" upon my return...

The number of *********** will not change at all since it is determined in the first 16 weeks of gestation of the fetus.

Your ignorance about ************* is appalling. HIV affects everyone, not just ***********. Even newborn infants have HIV.

It is also not a death sentence any more either. They can live a very long life with HIV now. But obviously you have refuse to educate yourself about any of that.

I did not do any research on that. But I doubt if it is any better. We do have the ********'s Wish Foundation.

I could not find anything specific for Canada.
