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?

Until I read this, I never knew collectors got paid.

I'm a volunteer and I always assumed that all collectors are volunteers as well. I sure the large majority of collectors are volunteers who aren't paid and are doing it from kindness and generosity so I don't believe we should stop donating.

Most charities don't give "all" money to the cause as they do need money to buy the collecting tins, stickers, flyers, advertisements, etc. but hopefully most have 100% of proceeds go to the cause.
