I worked for a non profit, here in Australia, about 13 years ago. It has been around since 1813. A program I was involved in, with kids who had been abused, mostly neglect, physical abuse, drug families, etc, was shut down due to a "lack of funding". At the same time the CEO of the organisation just did up his office with fancy new furniture, and he got a brand new S Class Mercedes as his 'company car'. That car alone could have funded the program for another year.

I volunteer in a non-rpofit... that has been around since the 1800s... that has programs for abused kids. (I'm a foster carer) But they are still running. I have seen again and again that the government doesn't want to fix the problem. We have had highly successful programs preventing kids coming into foster care and they always the first to get cut when we need to 'save money.' Despite the fact that those very programs save a lot more than they cost. Foster care is the clearest demonstration that we don't want to fix problems. When I worked in child protection I attended a meeting with a group of politicians as a union delegate. For some unspeakable reason there was a man from SERCO, the international criminal company... I mean... Umm... You know. They run the UKs nuclear weapons, Australian refugee torture services, cook food for Aussie soldiers... Those guys. Anyway, he ended up getting more talking time than anyone else. I tried to figure out why and all I could come up with is that 2 in 3 kids in juvenile detention come from foster care. A huge proportion of adult prisoners were in foster care.... SERCO runs many of Australia's prisons. The company the donates millions to politicians wants a seat at the table to make sure no-one does anything that would decrease their prisoner supply.

Started my company only to be ripped apart by abusive clients who will steal without thinking twice or having any regrets. What I learned is: Money first. No money, no honey. Cry all you want about charity, good cause, nice girls, they just do not exist in real life. It's all a merciless scam that chews everybody who believes in it, spits them out and gets new ones to chew on. I even complained to authorities about 1 charity that I suspect they finance ter-ism. I got called from them if I have any proof. I said, I don't, but they all look suspicious to me and should be checked. The b-tards wanted me to subscribe $35/m to charity. No interest if I can afford it, if I am struggling, nothing, just here is a stupid cause, sign up. Unbelievable.

And it has resulted in a population that is LESS and less literate as time goes on. Also there is no such thing as free healthcare. Again, taxes pay for it, but not until that money runs through the hands of every politician and corporate power that it can until there are so little funds and so few options available for decent care that a person may as well laugh about their insurance card. Worker safety?! Don't we just offshore Apple products to sweat shops overseas where people attempt suicide? Ending child labor. Boy, what a alternate universe people live in.

@@weareallbornmad410 All rubbish Socialist nonsense that carries a fancy banner, but is rotten to the core. - Children are now institutionalized into the public school system for over a decade of their lives. They learn nothing of value, absorb a great deal of absolute horseshit. All so the Corporate masters could destroy the family unit, making it so all women also need full-time employment, massively expanding the workforce, lowering wages, and increasing the consumer base. - Reading and writing was on the rise ever since the invention of the Printing Press. And then, to secure the ability for all to read and write, grammar schools were established. It does not take a decade to teach a child either of these things. - There is no such thing as free. Someone is paying for it. The healthcare system in Norway is entirely built around doctors and nurses working minimum 90- hour weeks for little to no overtime pay. And, with the Government budget dictating the entire health and hospital system, means that the hospitals get a sum of money to spend a year, and they are not allowed to go beyond their given budget. Meaning you will only get the level of care that the Government thinks you should get. - Again, no such thing as free. If we shut down the entire public school system of the entire Western world tomorrow, we would probably see an increase in reading and learning. The Public School systems do not exist for the sake of learning, but for mental and cultural conformity. And the majority of money that goes to higher education, is spent on ideological drivel and nonsense. Not the skills that it was established to teach. - Visible Worker Safety was solved by exporting all those jobs to the Third World, where such laws do not exist. We feel good about ourselves, because when the browns, the blacks, and yellow people suffer and die, we do not see it, we refuse to look, so we do not care. And to the first part of your post. Blacks in America had it better under Segregation. And Female Suffrage ensured that the Corporate Media would forever run and dominate every election from that point onwards. We were warned for 2500 years that broad Democracy is a horrid, if not the most horrid form for governmental organization. Which the Socialist movements took to heart, as a great tool to destroy everything that was good about the world. No other system has ever destroyed Culture, Morals, and Virtue, so utterly and so completely, as Universal Suffrage has done.

It has to be secured to a concrete foundation too. Depending on the location, it will need to be rated to withstand natural disasters like earthquakes, flooding, and high winds. Usually, connecting to utilities is extremely expensive, just a water connection might cost $20k, sewer $15k, and electric over $10k.

Thank you. I have similar experiences over 15 years, but on child abuse prevention and treatment (primarily, among related missions). Like, sure, there's corruption and malfeasance in some big names and other random organizations, but many direct service orgs with ED and other staff making well under six figures, and if they went under tomorrow, people simply don't get services and bad problems are measurably worse (e.g., hospitalizations, even fatalities). I feel like some cynics buy into the Nirvana Fallacy, as seemingly argued in this video; i.e., if it doesn't *solve* the problem, then it doesn't matter. Even if it measurably reduces the problem (e.g., seat belt laws lowering but obviously not eliminating accident fatalities, as measured by interrupted time series analysis and controlling for related variables). And, of course, the Anecdotal Fallacy, e.g. "I know this one organization made millions and barely did anything!" I'm the first to call out waste, fraud, and abuse (I blew the whistle on a minor example early in my career), but people should really do the work of studying an issue (maybe start with Charity Navigator and Guidestar), do the policy analysis, check a program against alternatives and if it didn't exist at all, etc.

I worked at a nonprofit in school. It was kinda like goodwill in that they took donations of physical stuff. Except they gave it away for free to homeless and anyone who was in need. They also offered counselling, food and a place to take a shower. It was a huge benefit to the community and was helping hundreds of people a week. Sadly the pastor of the church who owned the place wanted to spend 1.5 million dollars on a new church building in a rich neighborhood so he could get a wealthier crowd. He pulled the plug on the nonprofit due to lack of funding. And he claims to be a christian...

I once worked for a major manufacturing company that didn't believe in paying personnel a living wage. They would coerce us into contributing 10% of our gross pay to UNICEF each year. All of the employees would do it for fear of retaliation. As a supervisor I was encouraged to "encourage" full participation from all of the people within my department. It was so awkward the first time that I approached my manager at the defense of an employee that wished to refrain from contributing. The non-profits have always had a high "ick" factor to me and this really helps explain why.,

The least efficient (and most charitable) are staffed by local volunteers, are located within the communities they serve and, while not very good at making money, provide invaluable services to 'the least of these our brothers and sisters' . Kind of like charity was like in 'the good old days'.

So, instead of the accounting being done by accountants, it's done "that girl that Mark from the board asked us to hire", HR is done by "Steve", who's never been to College, but has 1 million followers and gives online classes about crypto-currency and strategic planning is done by a student from the local community college, which is good, except she's studying Renaissance Literature... but she volunteered and Steve thought she had a nice a**, so they hired her too.

United Way is one of the worst around. When I was working through college at a Dept store at little more than minimum wage the store had a meeting and showed us a speaker and film about all the charities UW gave $$ to. Your employer opened its books to UW who then calculated what was your "fair share" to donate and have deducted straight from your paycheck. This was based on your earnings. Your manager then had individual meetings with their dept employees and had to sign the paperwork in front of them. When I declined to contribute, the manager said "Great, I'll remember that in your next review." Donations were extorted from the low paid staff. Of course, the credit for all this charity goes to the Store, not the poor employee being bullied out of her wages. This was wrong on sooooo many levels. I do not give to formal charities; I do give to street people and panhandlers instead. At least I know the money gets to them.

A better way of saying the same thing is all "profits go to..." Profits are defined as stated above. Anything more than what the business needs to run.

I volunteer at a small non-profit food pantry. They have maybe four paid employees, and plenty of volunteers. I think we do good for our community. There are lots of people who struggle for one reason or another. Seniors who didn’t save their money (or couldn’t) are the majority. I think the only bad aspect is that grocery stores giving us their rotting salads and day old bread. Most stuff ends up still being good but I’d say 20% we have to throw away. It’s like the grocery stores give us the privilege of throwing away their stuff while they get a tax write-off. Also, grocery bags are so expensive! Thousands of dollars, unless they’re donated. If we used recycled ones, it might be easier but some stores won’t donate those-fearful of someone sneaking in bags to the stores, filling them, and claiming they paid for it. Esp I imagine with self-check outs. Amazon food always seems the best bc it’s fresher and with more variety. Grocery stores sometimes end up sending huge loads of bread and sweets.

Community control and funding to provide jobs and community service, at wages determined democratically by the community (to avoid that disparity between "owner" and "employee"). That said, nonprofits are DEFINITELY used as tax havens for the rich, for PR (such as rebuilding the reputation of someone like, I don't know, Jeffery Epstein), and influencing politics while hiding the identities of those doing it.

The person who runs it isn't even rich, she is able to live in CA, but they also pay a bit over 20 an hour. I got paid 25 an hour when I was there. So no not all nonprofit are run by billionaires, and no it doesn't take government intervention to make a change.

Would you volunteer the name of that organization? Seems too good to be true.

I'm annoyed by the hypocrisy of rich evangelical Republicans who ignore the 3 times in their bible where Jesus said: "It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into the kingdom of heaven."

Wouldn’t the people that work at Goodwill sorting disgusting clothes be making more money by now and have a more respectful way to make some of that income?

I love that this episode was followed (for me) by a Save the Children DONATE NOW ad! Also don't forget what Ariana Huffington observed first hand that outsourcing these needs and support doesn't work for the non-flashy ones like child poverty. Rogers all over the world have foundations ready to put their name on a theater or hospital wing (unless in skid row) but not so much help the most needy.

I don't think you can put your name on a hospital wing outside of USA. Doesn't happen on theaters either where I live. USA is its own little universe. Don't judge the rest of us by your mark.

It's not that the government fat cats aren't interested in solving problems. It's that they're interested in solving their problems, not ours. And their first problem is that they aren't paid an infinite salary for a job they have for life.

We who worked for NPs, we know where the money goes. It goes to the top, while sh*t rolls downhill and responsibility goes to the bottom, where we have done work others would never want to attempt. That said, looking back at a career, I was happy to do this for my clients but not my supervisors. NP workers have nothing to be ashamed of. The work was worthy.

Nonprofits *aren't allowed* to solve problems. Do you know how little government contracts pay nonprofits to provide essential services? My organization provides supportive care to people with disabilities. The reimbursement rate hasn't been meaningfully increased since the program started 25 years ago, and now everyone who wants to continue providing services has to spend $35k getting certified. But after that they *promise* they'll increase the reimbursement to something that makes sense.

@BlackCanary87 Whatever. My point is valid. If a nonprofit solved whatever problem they are dealing with, they would have no reason to continue existing. And they certainly would no receive any contributions. Not very bright, are you?
