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?

What I have learnt is Caritas Australia donates every cent to charity. Most other so-called non charitable organisations spend some parts of the collection paying staff to do fund raising and run a reasonably cosy office. I guess people who are working to raise funds need some money in their pockets as well for a living (in other words they take it as a paid job to help others). We have to realise from our end that we are helping those jobless souls as well ... to help feed other hungry, homeless in third world countries.
