With most charity collectors getting paid a hefty "wage", where is the money really going? Which charities actually give all the money to the people they are collecting for?

If you want to donate to a charity and know 100% of your money is going to the cause, donate through your local Rotary/ Rotaract club. By being a part of this organisation we have nearly erdicated polio from the world and polio only 1%of polio exists in the world today. It was heartbreaking with the Bushfire appeal last year to see how much money organisations like the Red Cross were keeping for themselves. Whereas, whatever was donated through Rotary to the Bushfire Appeal, 100% went to the Bushfire Appeal and we supported the affected with Shelterboxes which provide all the necessarities for families but do not come cheap. One shelterbox costs $1,200. There are used around the world and are currently being deployed in Indonesia in the volcano and tsunami affected areas.
