Donors and charity leaders are talking. Join the conversation today!

Simply visit a charity’s ratings page and click on the ‘comments’ tab to read what others are saying and share your thoughts. For example, you can submit a rave review of your favorite charity’s work in order to encourage others to join you in supporting the organization’s endeavors. Alternatively, if you’ve had bad experience with a charity – maybe it continued to send you expensive appeals after you asked it to stop or maybe you were harassed by an aggressive telemarketer that it hired – we hope you will post that information as a warning to potential donors.

    Shriners Hospitals for Children
    These guys are the BEST! Because of their St. Louis Hospital for Children and the dedicated staff there my 3 year old little girl not only walks, but jumps, runs and dances! Without them, she would be in a wheelchair and would never be able to do any of those things. They are so kind and compassionate with everyone and because of them so very many children have much better lives than they ever dreamed about. THANK YOU SHRINERS! You gave my baby back her ability to dance and gave me hope after I thought it was gone. Thank you!

  2. My 2 cents

    Compassion International
    I read a few posts that just made me want to give my 2 cents. I love how some people think that every thing should be done by volunteers. Any of you try doing a fulltime job to support yourself and then volunteer fulltime as well? I see no problem with a CEO getting paid. The amount is likely due to the level of education the CEO had to go through and his living expenses which I would bet includes travel costs and such. As far as the misunderstanding between cultures concernig a child that cant understand that a woman can support herself. Mam, where's your grace? We can't expect Compassion to go over and change an entire culture to make you feel better. Working with other cultures is a delicate thing. The important thing is that your child is being helped. Perhaps as the child grows up he will come to understand American culture a little better, but as it is he is growing up in his culture not yours.
