I certainly agree, Keg! ANYTHING with statistics or a questionable standard of conduct MUST be researched before regurgitating. OR, barring that, and assuming you simply don't have the time to do the research, ignore it.
This crap is generated by internet trolls to infuriate the easily led. Don't be a lemming.
This one in particular, has been circulating in endless waves.
The only solid advice to give on charitable giving is to give to something you actually care about. If you must give "generically," like to some of the organizations listed here that have multiple outreach services, then do what you can to understand more about what the particular organization does so as to have a defined purpose behind your giving.
AND... NEVER GIVE MONEY OVER THE PHONE TO ANYONE THAT CALLS YOU BLINDLY - even if you have every reason to believe they are legit. YOU should be the one initiating a charitable donation, not someone else panhandling for one.
