How much out of every $ donated to the Salvation Army goes to the cause ?
825643
I could not find an actual number. I did find a blogger's comment, given below:\n\n\nThe Salvation Army should be first among your charities during this season of Hurricane Katrina. Here's why.I once sat on a board to evaluate administrative overhead costs of hundreds of 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organizations.\n\nThe Salvation Army always had about the lowest admin burden.\n\nFor example:\n\nAmerican Red Cross, Marsha Evans earns $651,957.\n\nUnited Way, Ralph Dickerson Jr., president of the United Way of New York City, $420,000.\n\nGoodwill Industries, George W. Kessinger, $386,575\n\nSalvation Army, W. Todd Bassett $166,850\n\nand\n\nCatholic Charities USA, Thomas A. DeStefano, $116,362. \n\nSource:http://www.charmaineyoest.com/2005/09/the_salvation_army_and_hurrica.php

looks awesome! I don't know what to tell you though, I'm not so good at getting my bills paid if I'm sending donations to places... Pray about it!

There are many people in need all around and it's not all that difficult to find them. Open your eyes and be sensitive to what people are doing and saying.\nI have found people in all the places you mentioned. I usually give to the Salvation Army - clothes, furniture, money but a couple of times I gave all kinds of stuff including a stroller and a Christmas Tree to the residents at the public housing project I worked at. I have given at school to help a sick child pay for treatment. There are always coat drives and food baskets as well as Angel Tree (through church) for the children of inmates at Christmas.\nI've given directly to homeless people in the form of a hot meal or blanket.\nThere's so much that any of us can do.

And will you have my info when I do this? Give me a link that explains the privacy policy, and I will be happy to sponsor you.\n\nHere you go found the info I needed... here's the verification. I am listed as music girl in the donations list.\n\nThank you very much for your thoughtful donation to Aid for AIDS of Nevada (AFAN). Your support enables us to provide much needed assistance to hundreds of individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS in Las Vegas and Clark County. Your contribution also allows us to educate the general public about HIV in order to prevent new infections and to eliminate the fear, prejudice and stigma often associated with the virus. \n\nThe following summarizes your contribution:\nTotal Contribution Amount: $20.00\n\nHope it helps! And this is not a matter of who has better values, hon. It's only a matter of salvation to me, earthly values can vary among all groups of people. To say we are more moral people would be a judgement that we are not to make.\n\nYou are quite welcome!

The Salvation Army also give clothing to the needy - no charge.\nThey sell the clothing and use the money to provide other necessities to the unfortunate in shelters and people in desperate need. Personally, the Salvation Army is the only Organization I gladly donate money, food and clothing too. \nTry a women's shelter - they always need clothing for the\nwomen that have to go there.

They dont get mad at me. Mabye they get such a lack of money and get self rightous and start judging the people that dont donate as cheap jerks even though they have no place doing it. If they get mad next time tell them to get a different x-mas job because they are giving the salvation army a bad name with their attitude.,

You have to solicit the corporate sponsors, but I think you would be surprised how many will actually donate.  Write a letter, make phone calls, try to set up face-to-face meetings.  \n\nAlso, individual store managers sometimes are given a small discretionary fund with which to make donations (supermarkets, etc.).  \n\nYou are doing noble work.  God bless and continued success!!

start a web site to take donations, or "cash advances", try putting it on my space, the word will spread quickly since it's for a good cause. contact your local radio channels, for nonprofit causes most will run adds free, or at least a discount. encourage your community to get involved. maybe visit some larger businesses in your area, and encourage them to sponsor or contribute to the cause. Promise free advertising, and new loyal costumers, that should help. Good Luck, and I hope everything works out.

i would pay 10% for tithing, and save maybe 2 million for myself, and the rest for charity.  I mean really, who needs all of that money?  there are people starving on the streets, and children going without meals, why spens 20 MILLION DOLLARS on yourself?

I share your concern. I only give to charities when I know that more than 90% of my contribution goes directly to the cause.\n\nWhenever I get a call from a telemarketer asking for a contribution, I ask how much does the charity get. You'd be surprised at how much the professional services take of our donations!\n\nThere are several organizations that rate charities. You can find them by doing a search. Here are a few; I don't have experience with them, so I can't really make a recommendation as to which is best:\nhttp://www.charitywatch.org/\nhttp://www.charitynavigator.org/\nhttp://www.sls.lib.il.us/reference/por/features/98/charity.html

Nothing.  And think what £300 could do for a good charity.  Don't be greedy -think of the needy

I choose to help those that I can directly.  It's not much, but it is worth more to me than sending money to a board of directors that might slough off a trickle of my donation to the people who actually need it.  \nIf you want to help, don't go through major charity networks.  Unless you are going for the notoriety, and the tax break.  But don't believe for one moment that your money is really helping anyone who doesn't have a swiss bank account.  \nYou can donate to your local food shelter, but does that help anyone get off the street, get a job, get a better life?  No.

He has $7\n\nHis money at thew start is X; after the first church, he has 2X (doubled) - 8 (donation); in the second church, (2X-8)*2 - 8; in the third (4X-24)*2 - 8. So since he has no money anymore then, 8X-56 = 0, which makes X=7.
