Depends on what charity/non profit does. Many waste money on fund-raising activities, scams, illegal activities and politics. [1][2][3]

I see many such orgs on Scott’s list. Negative ROI.

Interested in learning more. Could you please list one or two orgs from her list and why you doubt them?

Thanks. I'm sure it's complicated. Will take some read.

Could you explain what's negative about Scott's giving?

I'd rather do it via tax so that it's not an indirect subsidy for assholes.
