  1. you will never find out..... the people who support themselves on your donation dont want you to know .. that they made their car pament or some new tires.. becase they consider them selves needy also... my shoes are out of style on i need a oil change... my car color has fadded. they wont miss two or three hundred from the ten thousnd that was sent in.. oh make it about  an even thousand   after all i started this for the needy.. and i will trake my cut.. ok gilermo..


  2. I dont think that is possible but www.give.org gives you an idea of how much is spent on administrative costs. go there and click into 'charity reports' on the left and then into the National list of wise giving

  3. Most legitimate charities will show you their financial report to contributors.  If they don't, then I would question their practices and consider another charity.

  4. It depends on what you mean by "makes it to the needy." Organizations don't hand out cash grants to the needy -- they provide services. So if you are paying professional, highly-qualified staff to provide those services, doesn't that mean that the money donated is making it to the needy, through the services provided?

    Organizations have to pay rent on facilities, pay for copy machines and service contracts for such, computers, tech support, etc. -- otherwise, they wouldn't have the equipment and facilities they needed to serve people. So would you consider funds that pay for that as "making it" to the needy?

    A credible nonprofit will provide you with its annual report. It will list its expenditures and its income. It's your decision as to whether you think expenditures are appropriate.

  5. calculate it

  6. Its all different for example..telemarketers normally 10 cents on the dollar go to the cause..ask them your question and by law they must tell you..most of the time they will hang up when you ask
