Not sure what I expected really, I went ahead and picked an arbitrary charity to test the hypothesis.
Going with something reputable, went with
Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. Founder turns out to be
Bruce Fogle.
Early life and education
Fogle was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where he grew up and was educated. His father was
a scottish jew
Because of course. The phrase "do these shekels smell like chloroform to you?" needs to become way more common.

When they say "we raised 1 million for such and such" it means they paid themselves 900k and gave at the most 100k to the actual cause.

It was the first time it dawned on me that a charity might actually not be set up to actually benefit anybody but the person running the charity.
Now I see that almost all charities are set up to barely do any good at all and mostly just are set up to pay the people who run them huge salaries.
