In a September 30 posting, I told you about a Forbes.com story revealing more questionable charitable gift annuity advertising.
Forbes.com now reports that charities using the advertising message (which included units of the University of California and United Way Worldwide) have been revising or pulling the ads. Read the new Forbes.com story.
Thank you, Forbes.com, for bringing this stinky practice to light. There’s still work to be done — see our April posting Charitable Gift Annuity Advertising Stinks on charitable annuity advertising of “returns” and “rates of return.”
Come on charities, you’re supposed to be the good guys. You can do better.
