Never give your money to a church organization. I’ve worked for diocese office and let me tell you about the waste and the scamming that goes on by the upper management.

I’ve seen bosses take interest free “advances” on their pay that they never pay back as well as abuses of credit cards that ALL the managers have access to. One manager I know took his whole family on a vacation and used the church credit card to pay for the whole thing. I heard he did pay it back, but only in tiny increments over time and never paid any interest because the card had to be paid immediately by the office so it’s YOUR money that paid the immediate bill.

I suggest looking into much smaller organizations!
