One reason I am asking is that I know for a fact that they spend money on giving every convict in prison a basket on Christmas. I just wonder how many more of their donations are abused...I am sure people would think twice if they knew some of the money was going to murderers and pedophiles.

I've been to their website Catspaw....couldn't find anything....I've also heard that the CEO makes any insane amount of money...well into the six figures.

Yes, cyanne2ak, I know I dont have to donate to them....I stopped after I learned about what I mentioned. However...how many millions of other people don't know this grim fact?
Yes, I thought of calling them to ask...perhaps I will do this tomorrow....

The Salvation Army's USA national office is incorporated in New Jersey.

You can file an Open Public Records Act request with the NJ Attorney General's office for anything they might have on the Salvation Army. You can also go to http://www.guidestar.org/ to find the Salvation Army's last few IRS Form 990 filings which will list salaries of executives as well as other expenses and earnings from donations.
Remember, the Salvation Army is technically a church, so their prison activities are likely part of their ministry and frankly I wouldn't get in a twist about it.

I try to give at least a dollar bill every time I pass a bell ringer for the Salvation Army. But if all I have is change, that's what I give. So by the end of the season, I've probably donated at least $20 by Christmas. Not a huge sum, but about what I donate to the American Cancer Society or Heart Association every time I get an envelope in the mail.

That is public information. They must furnish it to you upon request under FOIA. Just go and ask for it. As for you thinking it is an abuse of their money, Salvation Army is a charity. You don't have to donate to them. Pick another charity that you agree with.

You're joking right?
I'm sure if you contacted the Salvation Army they would give you whatever information they had available.
