That's maybe not a scam but a dirty little trick corporations sometimes play. They'll sell their Widgets for $10, but then make a charity version for $12, saying "we're donating to this charity if you buy this." Great... except for then they only give $1 per Widget, essentially making a dollar more on the backs of need.Zeeky_Boogy_Dooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08803573725233862575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-78227891389947442692014-03-12T22:52:47.720-07:002014-03-12T22:52:47.720-07:00Unknown - I lost the last bit of respect of Gaga w...Unknown - I lost the last bit of respect of Gaga when she came on American Idol.

We ended up choosing World Vision (even though I'm an atheist) because they pool the children & the resources. We sponsor a girl in Tanzania, other children in her same village are sponsored. The resources are pooled so all the village is helped. They improve their sanitary facilities, introduce clean water, teach them how to farm. The idea is to make the village self-sufficient. We have been sponsoring for almost 10 years. Our sponsor child is turning 15 this year, is still in school & wants to be a nurse. It really brought home to me the impact we have had on her. Normally girls are pulled out of school to learn to be wives & married off when they get their periods. You sponsor until the child is around 18/19, or the village becomes self-sufficient before hand.feraltarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05806620230863318926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-61147007838594086422014-03-12T12:55:55.150-07:002014-03-12T12:55:55.150-07:00Money spends so much easier when it's tax exem...Money spends so much easier when it's tax exempt.lazyday603https://www.blogger.com/profile/12638637774851889312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-63961175707427372452014-03-12T11:56:52.540-07:002014-03-12T11:56:52.540-07:00I blame accountants.

Just give to established organizations with a track record of helping a cause or people in need.<br /><br />I also think it's better when celebrities align themselves with an existing organization - for example, Denzel Washington and Boys & Girls Clubs - instead of setting up something new with all the accompanying overhead.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see how the Gaga case develops, however. Even if it was her own money, I'm sure she got a tax writeoff for it. One good jail sentence for a well-known celebrity would have a major impact on what others are willing to risk in fake schemes.Now!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00778434851497787791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-9504686135281074182014-03-12T09:32:52.045-07:002014-03-12T09:32:52.045-07:00crila - the IRS and thus the American taxpayer is ...crila - the IRS and thus the American taxpayer is being screwed because Lady Gaga is getting a tax break on those funds she donated unless she is not taking that tax break but yeah and pigs fly.

As long as you meet those minimum requirements. The problem is that you have people who set up fake charities with fake registration numbers though it is easy to verify if a registration number is legit and even in the case of a legit charity you can end up hiring a crook but they will get caught, so long as they haven't skipped the country already.<br /><br />There have been complaints about some legit charities here spending too much money - a few of then have big annual lotteries where the prizes are big fully decorated and furnished houses and fancy cars and trips, but people assumed they were being donated to the charity but they aren't, the charity is paying for all these expensive prizes, maybe at cost vs retail but still, to entice people to buy the tickets but then the feeling is not that much actual money is going to medical research. One magazine columnist said just donate the same amount of money directly the hospital rather than buy a ticket to this lottery.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17666375898375615826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-53493154809299435822014-03-12T09:28:00.389-07:002014-03-12T09:28:00.389-07:00What Enty has left out, is that Gaga's mother ...What Enty has left out, is that Gaga's mother is the president of the fund (which probably why it's been mismanaged) and most of the money in the charity fund comes from Gaga herself, not the people, so no people who have dontated, are not getting screwed.crila16https://www.blogger.com/profile/06983074685716007285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-3564151873175610992014-03-12T09:20:06.851-07:002014-03-12T09:20:06.851-07:00Bono has been doing this shit for years too.
