Please don't stone me if I am wrong but could someone take a look at the following link and correct me if my thinking is wrong? I don't know how charities work in the US. And before bullets fly my way I give to charity regularly and fully know the critical work they support globally.

Charity Register

My understanding is the charities get just 15% of contributions? (something is better than nothing I know but..). Sadly it looks like someone is making quite a bit of money out of others good nature, or it at least looks like it. Sorry for turning over the stone, if I am right

They are not a charity but a commercial fund raiser, to be fair they don't even need to report their numbers.

Its a shame as this kind of thing REALLY upsets me which is why I always make a habit of checking out who I am really helping in a bit of detail. People that do this well, I will be nice and say nothing... If you believe in karma I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that lot..

Goes on far to often, now if they gave 85% of the contributions how many more full bellies would there be. Won't do the math as it would break my heart.

Thanks for looking into it, it is a shockingly low amount.

Do you know of any that give most of it to charity? I have been looking but cannot seem to find any. Any links would be most helpful

If you use the charity search in the link it will list all charities in the state registered. Most seem to donate 80%+ not sure if they have such a site but maybe you could advise them on setting something up similar as it seems to work.

Also that "charity" donates to one organisation and at a glance it looked like themselves so its even worse (they own the domain? name or use a similar one in their list). Although I didn't confirm it as I saw all I needed. In the UK they wouldn't get away with that at all, its very misleading so don't feel bad
