Your suspicions are correct. A lot of that money is paid to bigwigs who run the charities.

Some beneficiaries never even get to see a glimpse of it.

I don't donate to suspicious charities, but the ones I do donate to, I am 100% sure that the money is used as intended - to keep up the good work!

I tend to agree. Any surprise that from the word Charity, comes the phrase: CRY IT RICH?!

There are laws pertaining to and governing fundraising organizations. I believe as little as 10% of the funds received, is all that is required by law to legally represent any given charity. Unfortunate, but true. Of course it depends on the country. But generally speaking, I believe this is the case.
The irony is, that the charity will gladly accept the funds, even if it is only 10% of what the fundraising organization collects. They won't refuse it. So everyone gets what they want, especially the fundraiser.

Thanks You!
It is utterly amazing how much truth lies deeply in words and phrases. I've been interested in this stuff for quite some time, and the results, many times, truly leave you dumbstruck!
I never thought about the word charity before....but your statement motivated me to *look* beyond....

That's very interesting. I had no idea that the disbursement was so low.

I donate hair, not cash, so I'm fairly certain it ends up being put to good use.
That's my charity of choice.

I've actually heard as low as 5% in some cases. Again, the charity won't complain as they know the law and wouldn't refuse the needed donation, no matter what the amount.

That is great. I've known a few people who have done that.
Just out of curiosity, how many times a year are you able to grow it long enough to donate it and how long does it have to be?

viva007: what about Gates and Melinda foundation
I can't comment on specific organizations but what I stated is generally true. You'd need to see their financial records. And by law, they must present them for public review.
