Sounds to me you are blaming them for making a profit. And you don't even know how much profit is being made.
For an organisation to help people as good as they can, there's no need in my opinion to show a financial overview, and if good-looking offices, good salaries etc mean that more people will donate, so more people can be helped, that's absolutely OK for me.
You are just looking for ways to discredit an organisation that is actually helping.
See the addition to the post you are responding to. I am not blaming anyone for anything, nor am I making a judgement on on aything other than the article's altruistic tone. I am simply pointing out what is. And perhaps you don't see the need for a financial overview, the government does.
If you want to take on an organisation that is doing everything it can for financial reasons, have a look at the USA government!
They are definitely not in the business to help the American People....
How much are they spending on a war just to secure oil. How much money are they spending on education for the deaf. HOw much would 1 day or war help the deaf people of America?
I don't disagree with you regarding the American Goverment. And that is exactly why I have a moral and ethical distates for corporate American when they function under the same principles as the government. I find the rich getting richer off of the misfortune of a population of people to be objectionable.
And the big offices,e tc. that you speak of do nothing in the way of helping a population of people needing service. They make comfortable the corporate executives and their employees. Perhaps, if these organiztions decided to forego the expensive furnishings and CEO perks, and instead put that money into even mor programs that would benefit the deaf population....such as education and HA coverage, they would have more of an ethical leg to stand on and their altruism might actually hold credibility. That is not to say that no one has benefited. It is only to say that when a client benefits, the corporation benefits. Its a business, and without a profit, the organization will not exist. It's not like they all have other jobs and are doing this in their free time because it is the moral and ethical thing to do. And of course, that is the nature of the beast. But let's quit trying to pretend the elephant isn't standing in the living room when we all know it is.
