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?

Several years ago ( some 30 )I paid $ 5.00 to the blind dogs charity drive, four weeks after I gave this donation I was watching the ABC and they interviewed one of the people from the Blind dogs, they asked him how much was collected , "he said $ 6 Million" ( if I remember correctly ) than he asked," how much did the blind dogs receive" after a fair bit of prompting he answerd " half a Million " that was the last time I paid in to charities!
