I know the Red Cross fails to offer more than 10% of what they take in to those in need.

A man in our area recently commit suicide and left behind a wife and four children. I work for a school whose clubs are going to get together to give a sizable donation. The family has a children’s fund through a local bank, but we were thinking of giving a check to the wife.
My question is this–how would the tax law work with the children’s fund as opposed to just giving the wife a check?

There are 80,000 registered charities in Canada who report $11 billion in donations annually. Donations given is not all ending up in the hands of those who really need it? Don’t you think it would be better if people started giving money directly to those who are poor? People could try to find out who the poor families are and transfer money directly into the poor families bank accounts. Approximately $11 billion donations annually in Canada alone.
Rich get richer = Poor get poorer
Charities = Billion Dollar Industry
Charities should be researched thoroughly because there are numerous unethical charities.

I was wondering if they check for marijuana when donating plasma (I was told this)
I have given blood (red cross) numberous times and was never check or asked about using marijuana.
It just don’t make sense why they would check if donating plasma and not when donating whole blood.

I have been chatting with a financial planner. He has talked to me about different option for IRA and life insurance. The IRA is through a company I think called Allianz and he said that anytime you put money in there plan you get a 4% bonus. I think the then is taking 1% of that has commission but I could be wrong. I have to keep my money in this IRA for 10 years but it is promised to never go down over those ten years from the highest $ amount.
He also discussed different types of insurane plans.. I have no idea. I am 34 single mother of 2 kids 3 &5. Any clue as to what type of plan would be good for me. My company doesnt offer a 401K. What % is reasonable for him to get on the life insurance?

I remember reading a stat that said something like 80%+ of financial planners don’t hold investments in the mutual funds they invest their clients’ money into. I can’t for the life of me find that stat.
Would anyone know where I could find a statistic like this or what the statistic is? I’d appreciate some help since Google seems to be failing me in this area.
