CARE Doesn't Want the U.S.' Money
CARE, an organization that combats poverty, will no longer accept $45 million a year in funding from the U.S. government. It's not often you hear about a charity walking away from that much money, but CARE's reasons are sound. It comes down to the fact that the U.S. food aid program is designed to suit American agricultural and shipping interests more than those of the world's poor. Jonathan Schwarz, in our upcoming issue (hitting the newsstands in early September), documents why this is happening and what Congress needs to do to change it. But lucky for you, you don't have to wait. Read the entire article here.

CAIR(pronounced care) would be happy to receive the money that CARE does not want. CAIR would use the money for worthwhile charitable purposes and is a qualified non profit orgainization (501(c)(4) and accepts donations from the public as well.

Having government in the "charity" business doesn't work out the way charitable citizens hope it will. Never has, never will.
CARE was smart in this. I think they actually CARE.
