need info on Modestneeds.org

[happyending]

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if any of you happen to know anything about this organization.

http://www.modestneeds.org/

Are they OK?

Do they spend too much dough on administrative costs?

The reason I ask is that I'd like to contribute but I want
to make my contributions as effective as possible.


Many Thanks

1. Sounds like a wonderful program

this is the first time I've heard of it. I don't know the answer to your question, but I'll search around.

2. I'd forgotten about his site! Thought it was such a neat concept.

Read an article about him last yr. Seems to be on the up and up. Haven't heard anything negative about him. :shrug: Bookmarked again.

On edit: wow! He's been busy. When I first heard about his program, he had only given away about $5,000. He's given away $216,782.31.

3. He was on NPR

The guy who founded the charity was on NPR several months ago. Not that this proves anything, but he seemed like a good egg.
