Review for Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation Inc, Schererville, IN, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

I can't even begin to tell you how disenchanted I am to find out the truth about ASDF. This is the 2nd year I've volunteered to canvas for donations. I was checking with one neighbor today who donated last year and he told me about an article in the AARP magazine about this very organization that stated that 60% of the funds donated go toward expenses. That's a huge chunk of change for those so-called do-gooder Board Members getting paid to coordinate this dysfunctional effort. Needless to say, I will not be doing this again next year. They called and called and called this year until I was so tired of not answering the phone that I finally picked it up and agreed to do this again just to get them to stop calling me. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. I will send in the donations I have collected because I collected them in good faith assuming that the majority of the donation was going directly to the cause. At least my conscience won't bother me.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Abolish this cost inefficient organization and go work for a legitimate charity where the majority of the proceeds go directly to those who are directly affected by this disorder.
