Wounded Warrior Project reportedly fires top executives amid spending controversy

Published March 10, 2016 FoxNews.com


The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating officer of the Wounded Warrior Project were fired Thursday after an investigation into lavish spending by the veterans charity, according to a report by CBS News.

Wounded Warrior Project's CEO, Steven Nardizzi, and COO, Al Giordano, were fired by the charity's board amid criticisms about how it spends more than $800 million raised in donations in the past four years, CBS News reported.

The charity came under fire after an earlier CBS News investigation in January revealed large amounts of spending on administration, meetings, and travel.

In January, Charity Navigator, a group that oversees nonprofit organizations, placed Wounded Warrior Project on its watch list, Fox News reported, citing a separate CBS report.

Good. Too many charities pay the people at the top ridiculous amounts of money, and pass too little money through to the beneficiaries.

Same reason my Pop [and I] never donated to the Red Cross.

That is a great resource. I have friends in AA that give SA credit for saving their lives.

I donate to Sally for the same reason you do, and one other.

When I got back from Korea, I was assigned to recruiting duty out of Philly. Sally put me up at their hostel until a BOQ room opened upin a week or two. I had no contact with Sally after that.

In August, '71 my orders for 'Nam came through. That December, I got a Christmas fruitcake in the mail. From Sally

IMO they are one of the best along with some children's  research hospitals.
