Guidestar.org Check it out before donating!!

Less than 30% of your money donated gets used to help people with ALS or R&D for ALS. Less than 30%!!! 0.30 cents per 1 usd. $30 per $100 usd. The person that runs ALS.org gets PAID!!! $320,000 IN 2012. The most recent tax filings. The % paid to run the "charity" *cough* operating costs, are greater than the % given out to help! A true travesty!!

It's a shitty charity!! This "Ice Bucket Challenge" is ridiculous!

www.btlsfoundation.org = A wonderful charity. Even if you do not believe in their cause, the way the charity is run is a superb example of how a charity should work. Over 60%+ giveback. No one on the board takes a salary. That is the purpose of a charity. To give back.

AS an example of a terrible way to run a charity look at the Wounded Warrior Project. $150,000,000 raised and less than $6,000,000 in givebacks. WTF is that all about? I'll explain... It's all about padding the pockets of those involved.

Do your due diligence as a responsible person and look up the charities you want to donate to. You may change your mind and find another more worthy cause. If ALS is your cause... Graet They need all the help they can get. Find a charity that actually gives back.
