Where did you find those numbers? Most ngo's are transparant enough to give their yearly income and expenses.

If it really was 90% overhead, it would be plastered all over the news.

lol which ngo is transparent? i am no accountant but on paper you can write anything for income or expense. what you actually do with the money is a total different ball game. you do know what gift aid is? If you're a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid increases the value of your charity donations by 25%, because the charity can reclaim the basic rate of tax on your gift? connect all the dots from celebs to all the ngos running. conclusion the money goes in circle and the only cut you give to the government nobody else. its a win win situation. people, organisations, celebs, politicians, elites make more money opening charities then businesses sadly. the rabbit hole is way more deeper than you think

News like this are extremely damaging to the public image of ngo's, most of em rely on gifts rather than government subsidies,
so as you can imagine events like these are a financial nightmare to them. And a good reminder to do more internal housekeeping.

Certain levels of corruption exist in every layer of society, thus also in ngo's.

Do you throw away the whole basket because of one bad apple?

And WWF is pretty straightforward and transparant, received their balance state just yesterday.

If your not trusting parting your money to something you can always donate blood for example or do voluntary work..

fact on that. ever wonder why charity fund raising jobs pay way to more than the actual sales job any where in the world? so who actually is making the money? the fund raiser? the ngo? or the people in need?
