What is an acceptable overhead cost for a charity?

Most Cost Effective Charity?

• I plan to give a donation to a charity in the near future and I was wondering in which my money goes farthest. If possible, could you give an example outcome of a certain donated amount? E.g. £1000 gives ## people clean drinking water. Thanks.

• Answer:

  The only cost effective nonprofits are your local ones. Administered and operated by volunteers. All international organizations require Paid Staff thus only a small percentage of your donation actually goes toward charity work.
