[quote=Anonymous]Here’s my take- 20% give or take for admin (actually closer to 28% with Marketing expenses factored in, as disclosed in their “annual report”). 
So, I give my hard earned dollar to Jenn and her do gooders.  Let’s say .25 is taken from my dollar for admin and marketing for LC. Now, that leaves $0.75 to go to the charity. However, let’s say that the charity of their choice also has marketing and administrative costs of around 25%. Now my dollar donation that I think is going to some great cause is now down to $0.50 that actually goes to the people actually needing it. I do understand that charities have overhead, administrative costs, marketing costs, etc. but a little research will show you that the range of these costs vary wildly. And, I don’t particularly want to fund two charities’ expenses just to get my money to a good cause. I’d rather determine for myself and make sure that as much money as possible of my donation actually gets directly to the people or cause for which it was intended. LC just seems a bit of a scheme to me. It just feels a icky and disingenuous.

Make no mistake, the non profit/charity business is big business. Don’t be fooled by what you think are solely altruistic intentions. [/quote]

Here’s my hot take…
Commenters, how have you used your influence for good? To give a solitary dollar? My guess is there isn’t much there. As to Legacy, admin costs are a reality? Whether you believe “Brandon” or not…the orgs are benefitting from dollars they would not otherwise get.

I appreciate the direction to the page with the reports. I see the diverse board who are generally altruistic by nature…and my guess is they wouldn’t lend their names and influence to a grift.  What do they have to gain?

I see so much cattiness and snark and outright hatred on the page it’s sickening. Because my guess the main culprits are the “Christian” right women who were pissed at Jen’s defection from their beloved fundie Christian evangelical bubble. Get over yourselves. Do your own work. Worry about your own damn miserable lives. [/quote]
