Non-government agency

1) it's NGO
2) it's not just the left. Not at all.
3) it's so we can put our tax dollars to work toward a goal the government sees as worthwhile by giving some money vs fully funding a government version of it. Like the Red Cross.
80% of Red Cross money goes to administration fees. It doesn’t matter what the name is! It’s crooked as Fk.

The Red Cross provides some good services, but their admin costs are high.
The link in the very post you responded to disagrees. And I think we can all accept Charity Navigator is a pretty solid source.
3% administrative
6% fundraising
91% programming
That's a pretty well-run NGO if you ask me.
I'd like to see the actual numbers and what they're calling 'programming'.
Because it's easier to steal money that way Lucy.

Vilifying the American Red Cross. What a time to be alive.
Their reports are online. The 2023 Southern & Midwest tornadoes report is illustrative. They spent $6.4M deploying volunteers, paying for things including their meals, airfare, lodging, & vehicles. Which, again, is far cheaper than a government agency contracting with companies to provide those services or doing it with full time government employees (except maybe active duty military, but that takes them away from their primary missions).
The real breakdown/comparison I'd like to see is well regarded NGOs vs. mega-churches. My bet is on the NGOs.

You're debating with a parody account. Just so you know.
Not true. Lucy is a beautiful red head. And yes, the carpet matches the drapes.

OK, you want to go there? Let's look at something other than a Red Cross website.Vilifying the American Red Cross. What a time to be alive.

It's a helluva fund raising effort - take donated blood and sell it.
The American Red Cross' 2010 performance in Haiti has become the focus of critics who are urging people not to donate to the organization
In 2010, the American Red Cross raised nearly a half-billion dollars in donations for Haiti relief efforts but only built six homes.

Nothing speaks saving better than Salvation!
NOW, who are they saving? Adam Pencil Penis Shavings or?
Great question! I can't seem to find an answer on the internet. Government grants are available for churches and my guess is that churches get billions collectively each year from the government.
One I COULD find was North Carolina giving a total of $26M to churches in 2023. https://ncchurches.org/2023/10/sepa...s-groups-get-26-million-in-nc-taxpayer-money/
Last school year, Indiana gave $439M in school vouchers. Without going through each line of the report to confirm whether the schools are religiously affiliated, my strong impression from scrolling through the list of schools is that the vast majority are religiously affiliated vs. secular private schools. So, the number to religious organizations is definitely lower than the topline $439M number, but I'd bet it's much greater than $300M. https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/...hip Program totaled,the 2023-24 academic year.
If you know where to find the kind of information you're talking about, I'd love to look it over too!
It was obviously a one-off situation, but churches got a total of $7B in PPP loans, which would have entirely gone to administrative costs. https://www.christianitytoday.com/2023/10/covid-study-ppp-loans-cares-act-churches/
For comparison (and the above & 3 below were all first run PPP loans):
Life.church in Oklahoma got a $7M PPP loan for 451 jobs. ($15.5k per job) https://projects.propublica.org/coronavirus/bailouts/loans/life-church-operations-llc-7415837000
ACLU of Texas got $830k for 57 jobs. ($14.5k per job) https://projects.propublica.org/coronavirus/bailouts/loans/aclu-foundation-of-texas-inc-4121427301
Boys & Girls Club of San Leandro, CA got $425k for 104 jobs ($4k per job) https://projects.propublica.org/cor...an-leandro-boys-and-girls-club-inc-3718657200
No mention of your embarrassing defense of the Red Cross after I posted references to their deceit and corruption?
