My Nonprofit Reviews

Review for Facts And Logic About The Middle East Inc, Berkeley, CA, USA
For years I've relied on the one-page FLAME reports to articulate my reasons for supporting Israel. Along with HONEST REPORTING, FLAME stands almost alone in refuting the media bias against Israel, a bias that encourages Israel's enemies.
What I didn't know until coming to Charity Navigator is that this charity's president, My Joffe, takes no salary. Almost all of the (depressingly small) budget goes to program expenses.
Most charities can be replaced. Not FLAME. Its contributions are unique. I wish it had more money so its message could be better heard.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
...myself, making me more sure of my convictions.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
...ask it to work harder at raising funds. It can't raise even a million dollars a year, a drop in the bucket, and not enough to get its reports widely published. In fact, the only place I ever saw FLAME reports was in US News & World Report, and I'll bet that was due to the kindness of Mr Zuckerman, the publisher.
