The Tampa Bay Times and the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR)
partnered with CNN in a yearlong investigation to evaluate America’s worst
charities and created a list of the 50 worst.
For example, Kids Wish did what many devious organizations do: it adopted a
name that mimics a well-known charity in order to fool donors—in this case,
Make-A-Wish Foundation of America.
Every year, Kids Wish Network raises millions of dollars in donations
supposedly to help dying children and their families. But for every dollar
donated, only 3 cents actually goes to those children and families.
The other 97 cents goes into the bank accounts of the company’s operators,
and for-profit companies hired by Kids Wish to drum up donations.
I wish I could say Kids Wish was an isolated case, but unfortunately, they are just one of many.
