It is rumored on the Internet that the Red Cross Society of Panlong District of Kunming donated only 800 yuan in three months.
But you see, the overall budget revenue for 2024 is more than 1.24 million.
It's all money from the government, and what's really surprising is the spending budget, nothing else.
The salaries of 5 active employees and 2 retirees alone cost 890,000.
Netizens said: I'm curious, relying on the charity of the government to give money.
Is it still charity? How can a charity organization have such a high salary?
How much more that we can't see, and how has it been spent?
Red Cross revenue and expenditure disputes
The Red Cross Society in a certain place has 5 establishments, but the donations received in the first quarter of 2024 are only 800 yuan.
But their annual expenditure budget is as high as 1.2456 million yuan.
The per capita annual salary (including provident fund and medical insurance subsidies) reached 235,600 yuan, and this money was all given by the government.
Looking at the expenditure, only 14,000 yuan was spent on disaster relief and preparedness.
Less than 1.2% of the total budget is spent on staff salaries and office work.
You must know that the average annual salary in the local area is 45,000 yuan.
And the Red Cross of these five people has a per capita annual income of 200,000.
Donations have plummeted, on the one hand, people are really short of money.
On the other hand, there is a decline in trust in this institution and a lack of transparency in information.
Let's take a look at how the 1.2456 million yuan was spent:
6,800 yuan to buy an intranet computer
891,000 yuan in salary and office expenses
106,700 yuan unit pension insurance
48,700 yuan of medical insurance for employees
34,300 yuan of medical subsidies for civil servants
91,000 yuan employee provident fund
54,000 yuan subsidy for retirees
14,000 yuan of disaster relief and preparedness materials
To sum up, the Red Cross's income and expenditure situation has raised questions among the public.
High administrative costs contrasted sharply with lower donor income, and transparency issues surfaced.
Netizens questioned: the puzzle of low donations and high expenditures
Why is the donation in the first quarter of this year so small, only 800 yuan?
It may be that there is a lack of confidence in the Red Cross.
It may also be that everyone is really poor, and no one can say what the specific reason is.
Speaking of which, I checked the information of the Red Cross Society of Chapanlong District.
I found that they announced their 2024 budget in February, and some of the figures in it are quite intriguing.
There are two departments under the Red Cross Society of Panlong District, one is an office.
One is the Relief and Ambulance Division, with a total of 5 incumbents, all civil servants, and 2 retired.
In 2024, their department will be able to get a total of 1.2456 million yuan, all of which will be given by the government.
In terms of expenses, 6,800 yuan bought an intranet computer;
890,100 yuan was spent on wages, office, printing, post and telecommunications, and water expenses; 106,700 yuan for pension insurance;
48,700 yuan for basic medical insurance;
34,300 yuan to pay medical subsidies for civil servants;
90,100 yuan to pay the housing provident fund;
50,400 yuan for living allowance for retirees;
14,000 yuan to buy disaster relief materials.
However, how much was spent on office, printing, post and telecommunications, and water bills?
The budget table does not elaborate, based on 5 people, the average annual salary plus office expenses per person is 178,000 yuan.
Not including five insurances and one housing fund, data show that the per capita disposable income of Kunming residents in 2023 will be 45,511 yuan.
According to this calculation, the Red Cross has to spend 662445 yuan on office, printing, post and telecommunications, and water bills every year, with an average of 55,000 yuan per month.
