Money donated to families of Aurora shooting victims goes elsewhere

This is why I'm so wary of charities....so little (if any) of the money goes to the people the donations are intended to benefit.

I don't even know what to say here.

You have to carefully vet everywhere you donate these days. It's sad, most cancer charities don't even give more than 40% to actual research, all the money goes to advertising and paying people who "work" for these non-profits. Funny, non-profit, I was under the impression that you volunteer not actively get on the pay roll. /rant

I hope this clusterfuck gets fixed for the good of the victims.

Not sure why everyone is so up in arms over this. Giving first has said from day 1 that they don't give money to victims.

From their website.

The Fund does not make grants directly to individuals, but to nonprofit organizations offering assistance to those individuals.

Ah, well shows how ill-informed I am on this one...

good find. Guess it is out there in writing. Still a shame people that donate the money don't look at little closer at where they are sending their money.

I bet some of that money ends up in a political parties pocket. Too bad So sad.

I'm surprised they don't fund anti-gun groups with that $$.

That's nice! I heard one of the victims was uninsured and his hospital bill was around 2 mil. Just crappy I say!
