I was planning to donate the couple bucks I had left over from the year to the charity called “San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance”, I was doing a background check on CharityNavigator and they gave the charity full ratings so it seemed good.

Then I stumbled upon the salary section. What the fuck? I earn <20k a year and was planning to contribute to someone’s million dollar salary? WHAT.

I’ve given up on charity. They’ve lobbied sites like Charity Navigator to not count executive compensation as a negative. I’m sick of capitalism ruining everything.

    The only places I donate money to are local food banks, Sally Ann's, homeless initiatives and random people living on the streets.

    Da fuck any of the big organized non-profits get any of my money.

    That's where I'm at as well. 100% guarantee all the money is going to a person in need.
