Here is part 2 of Save the Children but waste the money. This is a thread 🧵- for the full take open and read down

Yesterday we looked at $234 million spent on operations. Today where the remaining $676 million went - 🤔

Only $80 million of the $919 million was spent here in the USA. The largest recipient of of that was $6.3 million to their sister company a lobbying agency

Let this sink in: your tax money, $6 million was spent as a charitable donation to a group to beg Congress for more money.

Another grant of $1.5 million went to a company that researches stabilizing conflict, economic growth and education (not penny given to children yet - all still NGO grants)

$1.2 million to John Hopkins University with another $700k split between two other universities

$5.5 million grant to Tango International a research firm that helps organizations decide where best to spend money.
Keep in mind Save the Children did not hire them, they gave them a grant.

Now to foreign grants $595.8 million

Here’s where it gets 🤔they do not keep records of why they gave the grants. Including $7.4 million to Europe for “grant making” (more on next slide) and another $10 million in other countries for grant making.

It is unclear if the European grant includes this, of if this is a separate line item: there is an agreement for a $3 million loan to the United Nations

The foreign spending has not come without some scandal

Now a couple omissions from yesterday’s thread: the Diversity Officer (these NGOs love their DEI) was paid $264,064 or roughly $127 an hour - remember it’s a “charity company”

I incorrectly called this legal counsel, these are actually companies hired to do so fund raising. So they gave $6.3 million to beg Congress for more money and spent $23 million to beg tax payers for more money

Those canvassing campaigns are projected to bring in $22 million
(that is losing a million?)

But we already established they lost money on two other fund raisers.

Their website states 85 cents of every donation goes to children.
But before the first donation ever hits their door, they’ve already spent $900 million in taxpayer money from grants.

Here is Part 1 - open for full details

Please support @DataRepublican without her I would have spent months getting this information.
