Overhead skimming is way too high
When the top officers make over $250K salaries, I prefer donating to charities that have less overhead.

I’m on social security and receive 850.00 a month. Decided to donate 25.00 the next day I checked my bank account and they had taken 300.00 out of my account! I’m went to bank to do a stop payment and paid 36.00 next morning the payment had gone through anyway! This organization is a scam! Don’t give them anything
Well of Life Ministries, I.
Wow. We had a sense that something was "off" with this organization and now that I read the reviews I realize it was a check in my spirit. We have been trying to get them off our mail list for months - to no avail. So I was going to write a review saying DO NOT GIVE TO THIS ORGANIZATION...SOMETHING IS WRONG - VERY WRONG and they are preying on those who love Israel. There are plenty of good honest organizations out there but this one is DONATE DONATE DONATE everywhere you look see and hear.

Give me a break. Holocaust survivors? My Mother was 14 years old when she was incarcerated in France /Germany, she died 20 years ago. Any survivors alive today would have been infants or less than that during the 30's and 40's. Any survivors certainly did not elect to live in Siberia after the war. IFCJ are a fraud, what a scam. Worse yet, when you type in "Jewish National Fund" on a search engine line, you get "IFCJ" - whereby there's no connection.

This company are thieves I started giving donation by calling here and there. Next thing I know they started withdrawing monthly monies from my account. They are horrible. Because of them I will never give any donations to any agency. Please be careful.

I have been watching this beg for money commercial far too much. And it's a BIG CON SCAM! #1 I'm all for standing by God's chosen people when it's needed. But these commercials to help these 90 + starving holocaust old ladies that eats a half a carrot a day. Really??? I don't buy it one bit. #2 Now the newest commercial is needing money 45.00 a month for the rest of your life to help immediately due to being bombed every day killing 1000's of Jewish people. Uhmmm, yes Hamas killed 1200 at a concert. Very very terrible! But Israel is taken care of that situation just fine themselves. And I haven't heard one time the Prime Minister of Israel on the news plea that they need help to feed his people, bullet proof vest, and fall out shelters!

I donated and they took out twice as much. When I called to ask for a refund, they put me on hold for twenty minutes. Same thing the second time I called. My Jewish friend did some research about them and discovered that Yael, the founder's daughter, is worth millions. They also use a Spanish company to remove bad reviews so that most reviews about them are positive. That's a big no-no as far as I'm concerned. No transparency = no thank you.

When I read their plea for donations, I was happy to donate. I was also looking forward to receiving my free “U.S. - Israel Flag Pin.” Imagine my surprise and disappointment when I opened the envelope and discovered a magnet had been substituted for the pin! I have no use for the magnet. Plus, there was no explanation for this switch. I emailed them, they did not reply. That is wrong and deceptive. Please do not donate to this organization.
