Per the charity website, they pay out over 82% of donations directly to research etc. which is fairly high for a charity.
Regardless of how you feel about their political misstep or the pay of their CEO, that's pretty decent.
Every big organization has some negative aspects so maybe go a little easy before completely condemning one of them.
Komen has always had a pretty good reputation for their percentage payout to research and etc. - the problem was that they cut their "payout" to Planned Parenthood. They didn't have permission to do that - PP has the absolute RIGHT to determine who the Komen Foundation gives their grants to.
Planned Parenthood and their Abortion machine had a RIGHT to that money - so Komen had to be 'taught a lesson'. Hopefully, a lesson that other Charity Organizations would remember and take to heart. Thou Must not Offend PP and their supporters. PP is to be congratulated for their success.
Really, you have to ask that? It's the fox guarding the hen house. This is the reason CEO pay has been skyrocketing for the last two decades. The board is simply a rubber stamp because they all belong the same club.

What's wrong with clubs?
Friends can hire and promote friends, right?
Besides, it's the board that's in charge, not low wage workers.
I honestly think that the more we continue to fund this type of "charity," the less motivation they have to find a cure. If they "find the cure" the money will stop rolling in. Women are suckers if they think that by buying a stupid pink t shirt or key chain, they are any closer to a cure.
Pretty small pay compared to most CEOs of huge organizations. Does the OP have issues with charities? This is the second thread the OP has railed about a charity.
lol what?
being critical of one highly-controversial organization makes a person "anti-charity" ?

When the Koman Foundation tried to cut Planned Parenthood out of their funding, it was the people who had been supporters of the Foundation who dropped Koman because they disagreed with that decision. People have a RIGHT to support organizations that mirror their own beliefs, and withhold support from those who don't, don't they?
It's laughable that you try to lay the massive hemorrhaging of support for the Foundation on everyone but where it belongs, on the Koman Foundation itself for its shortsightedness and for not having a clue what its own supporters believed in. The Foundation did indeed get "taught a lesson," one that they saw and understood when they reversed their decision. Unfortunately for them, their brand had already been tainted. They have no one to blame but themselves for letting their political agenda take precedence over their supposed mission.
so how many charities can one criticize without being labeled "anti charity" ? is there some magic number?
Seriously. You're just trying to be argumentative now. By the way, you're using "anti charity" in quotes as though I said that except I did no such thing. Given the OP's multiple threads, it was a valid question to ask if he had a problem with charities as his complaints was not limited to one particular charity.
