If you’re donating to a charity this Christmas….

DonationOne of my friends sent me an email pointing out that a lot of major charities give their chief executives huge compensation packages, even as they inefficiently manage the money that actually goes to a given charity’s beneficiaries. I checked the email out on Snopes, and discovered that it’s an old one and, therefore, out of date. However, what I did get from Snopes is a link to a website that provides useful information about charities. It’s called Charity Navigator, and it allows you to search out things such as executive compensation and charity efficiency.
