Sad But True Facts About Some Charity
Organizations…
Americans are incredibly generous, especially when it comes to
veterans’ charities, but many of these causes don't deliver what they
claim. CharitiesForVets.org provides
donors with the information they need to evaluate a charity before they
give.
Three years ago, several friends and I agreed to unite in a mission to
help veterans by redirecting donations from wasteful organizations to
effective organizations. We had discovered that billions (with a B!) were
being donated to charities who were over-promising and under-delivering
program services to vets and families in need. The problems were hiding in
plain sight. A basic investigation indicated the wasting of hundreds of
millions every year attributed to poor financial management, wasteful
fundraising campaigns, unnecessary hoarding of donations, and deceptive
advertising, among other failings.
We established a military advisory board and spent hundreds of hours
researching charities and creating an easy-to-use website that highlights
recommended charities and charities that aren’t doing as well.
I encourage you to review our free research at CharitiesForVets.org and
share it with your friends and families.
We all want to honor and serve America’s great heroes, but your
donations shouldn’t be spent on wasteful overhead, overpriced executive
pay, or, God forbid, fraud.
Please give wisely this holiday season.
Sincerely,
Rick Berman
Founder of Charities for Vets
