EVE General Discussion

If those groups don't put some of the money taken in for living expenses, how to you realistically expect them to devote their lives to the cause? Do you expect them to survive on fresh air and sunshine?

They also invest some of those funds in advertising and promotional events/rewards... because those generate even more donations. DONATIONS THAT HELP THOSE IN NEED.

I'm assuming you are an adult, so at least pretend to be realistic.

This is beside the point anyway, no one is taking any money donated to pay for salaries in this case... which makes it a big win for all concerned.

If I remember correctly, anyone who donated a PLEX would be receiving SOE t-shirts in game, or something like that. Why does this special snowflake deserve a medal for his charitable giving again?

That's one of the naive things people always say. It's called volunteerism.

I demand every family who benefited from my contribution to the Plex for Good campaign pay me back with 10% interest.

Was that last part a racist remark? O_o

Also, i'm all for it OP.

Tbh I wish they'd make a PLEX for good donation fund for faster than light travel.
Going to make a separate thread for that now.

I would like to donate, but money doesn't solve these problems. The problem is one not of economics, but of butt **** from God, you see when Godless people exist they are punished, as evidenced by what happened to the Japanese. What we need is to pray for these people, and hope that God shows mercy on these infidels.

Have you seen what the CEO's and higher ups make in a charity? Its astronomical! To top it off they may have some workers work for them that do barely minimum wage but the rest are VOLUNTEERS. Thats right no money to them because they are volunteering their time to help a cause. I have no problem with people making money but if you are making millions of dollars yourself in a charity something needs to be looked at and people need to stop giving to that charity till their pay is decreased.

Goodwill is a prime example. Everything is given to them for free but they make money off it and iirc the ceo of that company rakes it in, into the millions of dollars on "helping" people. Its sad.. People should stop giving to them and give to charities that actually are a charity. Maybe the Salvation Army (not sure if they are money grubbers or not)

If you care about quasi-philosophical mumbo-jumbo like "if you need recognition it's not giving", "you don't understand concept of giving" more than actual result - you are very wrong. People are dying there and it's amount of money that matters, not motivation of donators.

If there were tiered rewards - most likely people would give more. Yet community is trying to shame people who want to give more but have a bit different motives. This is wrong.

OP is correct: more money gathered = better. If badges will help to gather few more thousands - it's good.

And what would you determine to be an appropriate salary for the CEO of an international organization that oversee's thousands of employee's and thousands more volunteers, handling the logistics of moving supplies across the globe daily?

It takes education and skill to run an organization like that, so you need a CEO that knows their stuff. I think you'll find that the salary range for comparable jobs pays considerably more.

Charity and relief organizations can't run on all volunteers, with talent from people that do other things for a living. It is a huge undertaking, and it requires money to run.

If you can't understand that this is what some people do for a living, and how they support their families, you need to seriously grow up. There is not, and hopefully never will be, a law that demands people that devote themselves to charity work must only be able to make less than anyone else would doing the same level of job.

So go out and buy things they need out there like water purifiers, solar power fridges, food and large tents and donate that. The people in the uk have raised £60 million or the disaster relief fund plus the £30 million from the uk govenment. We are litterally donating more than most nations governments and all of it will be used.
