IS THE FIREFIGHTERS CHARITABLE FOUNDATION A SCAM? LOOKS LIKE . . .

Today, I received a call from the "Firefighters Charitable Foundation."

A quick check at the Charity Navigator
website shows Firefighters Charitable Foundation gets a score of only 28.49 out of a possible 100.

Here is the problem:

only a fraction of the money raised

by the Firefighters Charitable Foundation 

goes to any charitable purpose

Charity Navigator reports that "fund raising expenses" chew up 87.7% of the money raised; administrative expenses get 5.2% more.

This leaves only 7% for actual charitable purposes.

Steer clear of the Firefighters Charitable Foundation. 

Give your money locally to the firefighters in your community.
