I'm afraid, I am so annoyed by everyone now wanting you cash that I've let giving slide a bit as I need a list of charities whos only paid employees are those who directly work on organising the volunteers or doing important things directly for the cause. OK you may say, you need a fund raising person. I counter, maybe you do, but you also need a code of ethics on what is acceptable about fund raising. I get a bit annoyed, for example when a charity offers a free will writing service with the proviso that you leave them a lot of money of course. legacy management they call it.
The fact of the matter is that the only charities worth giving to are those directly helping make the lot of the affected people better. Its all well and good giving to research, but after a drug is developed, and its usually one of the big companies which does it, the cost in the first few years has no bearing on the cost of the manufacturer, and is mostly either recouping dev costs or making money for shareholders. Something should be done about this and the way some countries deliberately assume that charities will pick up the pieces for their ill run administrations that got them in a mass in the first instance.
