Does anyone know the relative administrative costs of participating charities? Really, does anybody know?
All I know is that back in the 60s my fellow servicemen despised the Red Cross and recommended the Salvation Army because one would charge the needy for services, while the other did not. That has stuck with me since then. I want to know who gets what.

I was thinking the same thing and havent decided if we will donate to the red cross or not... i'd probably need to get more details. They do do great things, but I have heard some horor stories (like from my secretary just today she told me of RC issues in her family). But this link has some really good suggestions if you are considering donating elsewhere:
