Review for CHILD LIFE SOCIETY INC, Brooklyn, NY, USA
This organization is located in Brooklyn, New York that is geared for Jewish Cystic Fibrosis families. They have been doing lots of fundraising in the past 15 years or so, yet they don't deliver to the families in need. I looked up some of their tax returns and it was quite shocking. Between 2012 and 2015 they have raised between $300,000 and $550,000 each year, while only giving for the cause 15.75% at most. In 2013, they only gave 7.37%! to the CF families. These numbers are based on the 990 tax returns that are publicly available online.
In 2013 they raised $347,464.00 and granted the CF families with a measly $25,592.00 (which is 7.37%). They claim to help around 100 CF families, you're welcome to do the math how much 'help' each family may have gotten for the year...
They do have two homes for respite care in Florida. But they basically use that for their PR campaign for fundraising tactics
The organizations policy is they will only send you money if you send them first a testimonial stating how wonderful this organization is.... they tell the families this is required by the IRS.
