Invisible Children Financial History with Kony

  1. If you're interested in helping with a monetary donation, read this first and THEN decide if you still want to help: Of the $8.9 million in donations they spent in 2011, this is the breakdown: $1.7 million in US employee salaries $357,000 in Film costs $850,000 in Production costs $751,000 in Computer equipment $244,000 in "professional services" (DC lobbyists) $1.07 million in travel expenses $400,000 in yearly office rent in downtown San Diego $16,000 in Entertainment etc... Only 2.8 million (31%) made it to their charity program (which is further whittled down by local Ugandan government officials) - what do the children actually get?

  2. not bad hamtaro.
     
  3. So annoying, The sheep of our generation are the ones preaching on about kony2012, jesus this has been going on for years..And the info has also been right infront of everyone for years, just not in 1080p and profesionally done.People look for the easiest way to make a difference these days
     
  4. While I'm skeptical about the sudden rise of this despite the fact that it is outdated, the organization was made to "make Kony famous" not to airlift food to starving children. Of course they're going to spend most of the money on making the film popular.
     
  5. Video was uploaded two days ago and the view count is already updated. It was at 4 million this morning and now at 7 million views.

    Yet ron paul related videos arent updated for weeks?
     
  6. 31%...?!?!?!?


    WOW

    For NOT being a professional charity for children, they have a much better percentage of the funding making to the kids mouths...and nobody is making a 500k+ a year salary...hmmm.

    ..I've never heard of this group before but it seems to be better at getting aid to the intended people than other 'charities'.... not that they are not just a bunch of wacked hippy-wannabes... (real hippies would GO there and help farm :p)
