Originally posted by dumbdumb!:hmm i dunno why u guys keep blaming nkf for hving reserve funds..
i mean.. what if one day economic crash, no one wishes to donate etc..
at least nkf have something to help the people with, for at least 3 years, meanwhile using the 3 years to think up of ways to help the people.
celebrities? i heard a few years ago that they are not paid for performing on charity shows. duno abt now.Originally posted by www:btw, like how fireice mentioned in another thread, dont u think the money they spent on celebrities, organising the show, prizes, show time slots and etc are prob just as much as the amt donated?
of course, that's exclusive of the goodwill they earned outta such event.

but is it their fault they hv to pay staff etc?Originally posted by the Bear:the math again:
3 years total operating costs = $189 million
1 year total operating cost = $63 million
they say that about 48% of the money goes to non-patient related things like pay of their staff and other projects...
48% of $63 million = $30.24 million per year
$30.24 million is a LOT of money in absolute terms...
and this is supposed to be a charity thing....
X 1000~!!!Originally posted by FireIce:donate to KDF instead........
tts the true non-profitable organisation......

No. No. I'm a Devil. Shouldn't be surprised.Originally posted by www:be it yes or no, was your decision / donation amount affected by the "reserve" fund saga?
