Ice Bucket Challenge donations are nearing $100 MILLION. Where is that money going? According to the ALS Foundation, not towards ALS. Over 73% of all donations raised are going to fundraising, overhead, executive salaries, and external donations. Less than 27% is actually used for the purpose we donated for. According to the ECFA, a charitable watchdog, 27% of donations actually making it to the cause they are donated to is unacceptable. In fact, the ECFA wont deem a non-profit as a reliable charity unless at least 80% of donations make it to their intended projects. Employee salaries at the ALS Foundation are out-of-this-WORLD! Jane H. Gilbert – President and CEO –$339,475.00 Daniel M. Reznikov – Chief Financial Officer – $201,260.00 Steve Gibson – Chief Public Policy Officer – $182,862.00 Kimberly Maginnis -Chief of Care Services Officer – $160,646.00 Lance Slaughter -Chief Chapter Relations and Development Officer – $152,692.00 Michelle Keegan – Chief Development Officer – $178,744.00 John Applegate – Association Finance Officer – $118.726.00 David Moses – Director of Planned Giving – $112,509.00 Carrie Munk – Chief Communications and Marketing Officer – $142,875.00 Patrick Wildman – Director of Public Policy – $112,358.00 Kathi Kromer – Director of State Advocacy – $110,661.00 The ALS Foundation is a terrible organization to send your money. If you decide to take the Ice Bucket Challenge, may I humbly suggest that you select a well-researched charity (on your own, no endorsements here) and send it to them. I personally have written a check to a small organization in Texas which gives food to homeless children and teens. I COPIED AND PASTED THIS FOR YOU, MARY LEWIS, AND EVERYONE WHOS DONE THE IBC, SINCE I KNOW YOU WONT READ THE ARTICLE...
