Review for WayForward Resources (formerly Middleton Outreach Ministry), Middleton, WI, USA
I helped grow food at a local community garden that was given to this organization. They moved swiftly and efficiently to provide that food to families in need. I was impressed with their compassion and for their ability to ensure that food was given to people who needed it.
It would be hard to imagine this organization wasting money or goods, their volunteer staff are effective community service individuals. They care about doing good in the local community.

Review for Satellite Child Care, Inc., Madison, WI, USA
This is not an independent charitable organization. It is a putrid component of the Dane County Parent Council. Its employees and one of its board members have violated my family's privacy, and that of other children.
Before donating to this organization really question what they are about. They are an organization that defrays the cost of professional development training for its for-profit members. This organization doesn't provide quality child care, or even guarantee it, they just siphon severely needed money for child care from various governments. This money could be better spent on low income child care access or for respite care for disable children's parent. But instead it funds lazy, ineffective, uncaring bureaucracy.

Disband the organization, send money to already existing organizations that help improve child care.

Review for Dane County Parent Council Inc, Fitchburg, WI, USA
This organization primarily receives money from federal, state, county and local government agencies. Its disorganized structure and lack of accountability to real people, being only accountable to government bureaucrats, gives it a significant degree of ineffectiveness. For an organization such as this it pays its employees way too much, a shocking amount of their grant money goes to salaries.
Furthermore, as a parent that used one of their services I was blindsided to discover that its employees had violated my family's privacy, as governed by its own privacy regulations. They had denied this multiple times before government bureaucrats provided written documentation of these violations. I was further saddened to discover that their employees routinely violated the medical privacy rights of children by providing their personal information to others without explicit permission.
