Introduction Compact

I hear often about charities that use high percentages of monies given for high salaries, unaccountable perks, etc. etc.

Such as, the comments we heard after 9/11 about Red Cross and United Way. And more recently, about low/high salaries on others.

I'm happy to give as I'm able, but really hate to have my donations go for a high lifestyle or big homes, cars, etc.

Lets list our comments here in one place so that we can (hopefully) keep waste like that mentioned, to a minimum.

Remember we're looking for good comments as well as "not-so-good"
