An Open Letter to Grey2K Followers

By Dick Ciampa

It is time to rethink where your hard earned money gets donated to. Grey2K needs your donations because Carey and Christine's salaries are based on how much they take in each year. As a 501 (c) (4) non profit there are restrictions as to how much they can take as SALARY.

The IRS allows up to 25% of the total donations to be distributed in salaries and they usually keep it around 23%.

During the last two weeks didn't you find it strange that there was no mention of what was going on in Florida? Remember last year when almost daily they were giving updates and asking for money to keep moving forward and you complied with your donations.

This year, silence, they didn't want you to know what was going on because there would be a good chance many of you would figure out after two years of donating, and not being successful, that you would donate your hard earned money to your local group or shelter.

Didn't you notice the many items that were for sale on their FB wall? Why in the middle of the fight in Florida were they selling so many items? The answer is because if they told you they lost again and the donations went down, so would their salary.

However, you shouldn't feel bad if you stop donating and their salaries go down because they get to fly around the country on you and eat dinner on you. They can accumulate frequent flyer miles on you so when they take a vacation the flights are on you.

One last thing about their salaries, even if they go down there is still the line on their 990's that includes LEGAL FEES and we all know who Grey2K's legal counsel is don't we.

Carey and Christine make a nice living off you, but, what have they done for you.

So the next time you write a check out to help the dogs consider making it out to your local humane society, not the HSUS, your local humane society.
