“Fire Aid” the fundraiser for those affected by California fires was a total scam

[ColonelAngus]

When do the victims get any money?

No one has received a dime and no one seems to know where all the money went other than 120 nonprofits who basically stole the money.

DISGUSTING!

This is why giving to charity is down... you can't trust anyone...

Most of it goes to operating expenses and spending to raise more money.

Donate to a charity so they can use your money to raise more money.

It is FUCKED UP.

California is trying to steal these peoples property from them...

 

[Nostra]

Gelboi Gruesome and Bass don't want those they burned out to get any help.

They are ready to swoop in and take the land for pennies on the dollar.

It is so telling that once Hillary lost the election, donations to the Clinton foundation dropped 90%.

That was a pay to play slush fund.

MOST OF ITS DONORS WERE FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.

HOW THE **** CAN THAT BE LEGAL?

Why did donations drop 90% once she lost? I guess all disease and hunger in the world were CURED!!

Dems have been pulling this crap for decades.

When the Clintons decimated the timber industry to save the spotted owl, gifting the timber industry to Canada i.e. not saving one damn tree, wiping out entire towns dependent on the timber industry well Dems gathered up shit tons of FEDERAL TAX DOLLARS and gave it to states to be used to re-train displaces timber workers.

If you want to know where "learn to code (computers)" originated, that's where.

Well the Dem governors decided they would decide how all this money was spent. Barely a tiny fraction made it to the displaced timber industry workers and communities, Dems spent the money on themselves.

Who agrees, it's become so obvious that the Dem party is so corrupt it needs to be dismantled?

I wrote a charity one time and said before I make a donation I want to know what the CEO was making ?

They never got back to me.

I wrote the VFW and asked where the $$$ is dispursed...they 2 did not respond. They were federally chartered in 1936 and surely they have no debts but the dues keep going up.

Q: How much are VFW dues?

A: Your VFW membership establishes your place in the VFW legacy that dates back to our founding in 1899. Your dues of just $45.00 will cover the cost of your membership for a full calendar year as a Member-At-Large for your state.

It is a scam !

It is sad that most charities basically steal the money.

Jesse Watters reported on it this week...



When they were raising money, they claimed 100% of donations went to fire relief and prevention, but instead they gave money to Left-Wing NGOs like the NAACP and "The California Native Vote Project" and musicians and podcasters.

Fire victims get nothing.

Like most "charities," the money is largely used to pay salaries of people who don't do much of anything while pretending to work from home but take a cut and then maybe forward some of the funds to their buddies at other "charities."

Maybe she should do her explaining before a federal grand jury.

If I recall correctly the Police Chief Association is the worse !

They called me one time and I asked the guy could he get a ticket taken care of for me and no matter what he said I did not let him speak. He hung up on me.

My sister in law works for a nonprofit I will not name.

She arranges for all of these,extravagant fundraisers using previously raised funds, so she rents out expensive venues and spends money on decorations and expensive catering and invites VIPS….just to roll it into the next one.

I am in corporate finance. When I asked her how much money is paid out to the intended beneficiaries, she just danced and said she does not do the books.

I asked her “Dont you want to know how much is paid out? You must have a budget.”

She just said she didnt want to talk about work. She knows it is bullshit. She just loves putting on the events and being the center of attention at these things and hobnobbing with the rich and famous.

BLEEECH.

I will say my sister in law’s charity always has a big Thanksgiving deal to feed the homeless.

BIG DEAL….ONE ******* MEAL A YEAR?

HOW ABOUT GETTING THEM OFF THE STREET?

When Democrats raise charitable money, Democrats keep charitable money.
