[quote=YINDUFFY,294273]If someone donated money and stipulated that it was for a specific cause it would be unethical to charge and administration fee. If however the money was given with no specific instructions, it is reasonable to withhold a percentage for administrative fees.
     Back about 1996, there was outrage when it was revealed that the head of the American Red Cross (the Elizabeth Dole) had a salary of $200.000.00 a year. the Red Cross did not collect as much in doantions for years afterwards.
    After 9-11 thousands donated money for the victims and families affected by the terror attacks. So much money was recieved that they announced they would hold back several million for other Red Cross activities. Public outrage made them give all the money to a fund for which the donors originally intended - all money donated for 9-11 victims would be given to those whom the donors wished it to go to.
    It is important that all records and books of any such organization be open for public scrutiny.
     The victims of May 12,2008 need help and they need it now.[/quote]
