Am I being unfair?

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 work for a community fund, which of course is a charity.

Drive a 1994 model car and get a very average wage.

Charities HAVE to pay someone or they wouldn't be there to help the community.

In our case a very small portion is paid in wages and the rest is used to support the community.

We are very open about the percentages we allocate to the different areas.

I agree some get paid to much, but most of us a there because we have a passion and want to be able to help

AND the money paid in wages is sourced from other areas. NOT from donations from the public.
