Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide. Kids Wish Network is known as the worst charity in the US. They’re largely considered the ‘evil twin’ of Make a Wish. They spend less than 3 cents to the dollar on their program and most of their money goes towards solicitors. Dishonest and scummy, Kids Wish Network only deserves one thing: their title of the worst charity.
