Thanks.
The Military has a drive once a year called the Combined Federal Campaign....so basically all charities are put together into one giant book and people can browse it and decide what they want to donate to. The advantage to this is each charity has an explanation of what they do along with a % of the money that goes towards administrative costs vs directly to the charity. The thing that I learned was you would be stunned about the percentage of the money you donate that goes towards someone's salary and not the charity per se....and you'll find that with some bigger charities and private ones. The bottom-line is do your homework on all charities before donating and always ask about administrative costs etc. before donating!
