The Red Cross is the last organization I'd donate money too.

I have 2 friends who work there doing pretty much nothing but making $100k a year. 90% of monies donated go to keeping the organization going, some of what's left over goes to helping people.

Didn't the Red Cross construct 2 new business centers from proceeds donated during 9/11 or another catastrophe?

Would never donate to them....

I'm sure they accomplish something worthwhile with some of the money. They do have to keep up appearances.

They do provide benefits for same sex partners of their employees.
