I works because most of us routinely believe the first thing we are told. And do not always demand supporting facts and numbers.
Therein lies the power of charitywatch.org and other third parties.
One early introduction was the charity called Childhood Leukemia. A lady in NJ paid herself $200,000 annually and donated something just above the minimum to charity. I don't know what her take is today. That was back when $200,000 was big bucks and the United Campaign top management was exposed enriching themselves.
The numbers. Only honest charities channel over 90% of their donations to the cause. Overhead should be that tiny. Don't remember the minimum number. But if a charity only donates something like 10% to the cause, then it can be a tax exempt charity. Massive profits possible by operating a scam non-profit charity.
