95% of charitable contributions commonly go to the administrators of those funds??????????????
It is easy enough to find financial statements for charities on line. This statement simply is not true.

Muppett,
A local fire department runs a fund raising dinner dance every year. This year they chose my niece, who is autistic, as the recipient. Businesses donated goods and services for an auction and a raffle. People paid for their meals, music and dancing with a little extra added to fund the charity. Hailey got a sizeable fund to open a trust account. She will need special services all of her life.
Good luck with this.
