Are certain non-profits run by the 1%?

Categories: Discussion, Open Mic, Reflections

Background: If you are a man making less than $250,000 per year, you belong to “the 99%” (see the U.S. census website).

People who might not be in “the 99%”:

The leader of…

-American Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)
-Wildlife Conservation Society
-Asia Foundation
-Asia Society
-Japan Society
-American Foundation for the Blind
-Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind
-American Cancer Society (and many other cancer groups)
-Childhelp
-National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
-Childfund International
-Children International
-Save the Children
-World Vision
-ACLU
-Southern Poverty Law Center
-Goodwill Industries International (Over $500,000 last year. Goodwill, indeed!)
-Conservation Fund
-Ducks Unlimited
-Environmental Defense Fund
-Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)
-National Rifle Association (NRA) (Nearly a $million last year.)
-Human Rights Watch
-American Red Cross
-United Way Worldwide

P.s. If you see a mistake, let me know.
