Check your list of nice charities twice
Posted By Eric S. Peterson on December 16, 2010, 1:49 PM
By checking the Utah Division of Consumer Protection’s list of charitable organization’s you can find out which organizations devote the bulk of their donations to their cause or if more of that buck goes to other program expenses which might include salaries and compensation for board members.
That is to say whether the organization is more willing to cough up damn near all of it’s donations like Primary Children’s Medical Organization at 92 percent or whether it finds other uses for donated bucks--like the Salt Lake Police Association that devotes 13 percent or the Salt Lake Film Society that donates 1 percent to its program.
Give smarter, not harder this holiday season.
