I must ask this question and someone please enlighten me but -- 1. Where does money come from to support these Organization ( e.g. dollaraday or Watsi ?

2. How do these Organizations pay for developer costs , website, office maintenance and employee salary ?

Do they take cut from donation and donate rest of the money ? If that's the case then its pretty much scam.

Susan Komen for women's breast cancer collect millions of dollar. Innocent people pay thinking money is going to cancer research. But they instead pay their CEO some $500k+ salary. What a shame !

I must ask this is starting a non-profit new legal scam in United States to collect money ?



Firstly the people running this are already incredibly wealthy by themselves. They more than likely funded the startup costs themselves, or through wealthy benefactors.

They pay operational expenses from a percentage of the money they raise.

Just because they pay operational expenses doesn't make them a scam - that's how any non-profit operates.

The best non-profits contribute the greatest percentage of their revenue to helping people. I believe this is the case here.

Do you want the best person running a company like this? Or would you prefer the cheapest person running a company like this?
