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?

I find these days I will give to charities that are shaking cans in the street and those that I normally support I will sell raffle tickets to family for or make a direct donation. For disaster relief ass for example the Queensland floods I donate directly to the bank in a reputable account such as The Lord Mayor's Appeal. I do not however give to door to door charities other than the Red Cross and the Salvos as I know them to be staffed by unpaid volunteers.
