Charities are run in the same way as businesses. I worked for Oxfam for many years as a shop manager and we were given targets to meet just like in any other retail business. The huge salaries the people at the top get is unacceptable but they will make the argument that they are competing with the private sector for the best talent to lead them. I do think you can’t run a charity solely on volunteer labour, but the top salaries are excessive. Yes my advice would be to choose your charity carefully.

Thank you for sharing this. I am not sure how current it is, but the message is important. I have found that using Charity navigator gives me the info I need to give to a charity with confidence. (I personally don't give to any charity whose CEO is making half a million or more in salary.) Also, I support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, because CF has touched my family.

Outdated and inaccurate.

I like to donate locally when possible. You know the people and can see the results. Most of the time 100% goes to the purpose you intended. Another charity that is volunteer staffed and 100% of your gift goes to building and running the school is Adopt a Villiage Guatemala. [adoptavillage.com]

Yes, I like those lists. I have done some programming work for non-profit organizations. Here are a couple of sites that give evaluations on them:
