The only questionable practices I see in most none profit, which BTW is commonly known in the business world as the none profit sector, is the pay scale of the CEOs and founders.
The Executive Director/CEOs make $120,000 to $250,000 per year.
That comes out of the donations first.
Seems a bit excessive for something claiming to be charity.

@Therealsteve Sorry that it took so long for me to respond. I didn't get notified that this was here. Sorry. I was looking for it too.

I must say i was so happy to bump back into this and see this awesome response.
You do not disappoint in the least.

So it looks like you're confused on whether I asked a question in my first comment.
This baffles me. Coming from a self proclaimed educational psychologist with a certification in English teaching. I thought for sure with that impressive background you would have known the answer to that right off.
In, at least the English language, writing, when someone has a question they signal this with a symbol (?). I thought that was common knowledge. Sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused by assuming everyone knew this.
My bad.
Also, I guess I should apologize for my sad attempt to lighten the mood a little by making a joke and relaxing what seemed to be tensions brewing.
I guess I am not as involved in attempting to show you I am smarter than you as you seem to be.
I shall attempt to inject myself more personally into this and maybe get as butt hurt as you are and then maybe I will stop feeling like everything is joke worthy.

So I may be over stepping my bounds a bit with this next part but it's strictly my personal and uneducated observation and opinion.

You spent someones hard earned money on an educational psychologist certificate or degree of some fashion. Maybe you just tried real hard and got a complimentary degree. I don't know.
But yet with that background, you let a simple statement about non profit practices get you so mad that you are calling me stupid for questioning the practice.
Also you have a certificate in English teaching, not sure if your finger slipped with the -t's thing yet you some how didn't know that a question is always followed by a (?).

That's the observation part.
Now the uneducated opinion part.
You got robbed on both deals.
You may want to secure the services of a lawyer and see about getting some, or all, of that money back.
I mean those both seem to be simple pitfalls, the (?) and the butt hurt, that a properly educated person wouldn't have cast their self so willingly into with such conviction as you did.

I have more to share but I think I may be getting a bit long winded so I will end it here.

@Dainbramadge No, there is no misunderstanding on my part. You wanted some reasons as to why they were paid that much, yet didn't like that they were paid that much and so wouldn't accept whatever answer I give and now want to pretend you are somehow above me and so somehow above the fact that CEOs get paid lots. I didn't read all that, so well done.

My best friend and soul flame, During the Christmas holidays, he got arrested for serving food to the homeless. The police tried to shut it down he said No and they slapped cuffs on him. He thought it was funny but i was mortified. Humanity is lost.

Sadly the word is full of people who can only belittle anyone doing good works or being creative.

I have no idea why they do; I doubt many could explain it, least of all the attackers. Jealousy, perhaps? Not necessarily jealous of what you do, so much as your being able and willing to do it.

They always do, dollar General just donated 1 million cans of food here, and people says they could've done more

As the Bible says: For I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirty and you gave me water, I needed clothing and you clothed me. This was wrong. You should have made me work for it for now I shall be lazy and dependent on handouts.

@Zaphod42 Society is absolutely endemic with this attitude of "other people have done more than me...and that makes THEM the immoral one". It is the laziness and selfishness that can characterize humans, which many have tried to intellectualize with social theories, and others just downright twist whatever a successful person does to attain the resources needed to help someone, as bad.

I informed someone that I have a limited amount of time on earth to carry out all the help I wish to give society, and so I am very selective of who I spend time with and what I spend that time doing. I spend time only with those who want the best for me and those who have the means to in some way help me. Which is an absolute fundamental of creating anything. If your intentions are to help people, then wanting to spend time with someone who wishes me the best in that and wants to help means more people will be helped.

But that's "narcissistic". Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a very rare disorder and has no application with how most people use that term.
Therealsteve · 31-35, M
@Zaphod42 And yes, when it comes to the successful. They are happy to get handouts from them, but as soon as they say "you could do this to help yourself", or "have you considered looking at this thing in another way", they get angry.

Conservative politics is accepted in cruel societies.

@jshm2 Oh, she was making me out to be a bad person for running the charity, for my approach of "I want to help a lot of people with the limited time I have, and so I spend my time only with people who can help me provide services for others".

@jshm2 Lol, I just made a post lambasting people who throw the term "narcissist" around. Have a read.
