If you can take in $100k and it costs you $20k, you raise $80k......but,
if you can spend $200k to raise $300k, you have now made $20k more for the charity, but your percent is 66% compared to 20%.

Glad you brought that up Fotze.
Moneysense Magazine rated 100 Charities in 2010 (it's too be an annual exercise) based on a number of criteria, including the amount spent to raise $100.
While the methodology may/may not have flaws, I think the list holds a ton of valuable, reasonable, interesting data for consideration.

Lastly - I ask that we don't turn this thread into an "I agree/disagree with the methodology" fight. I've posted the link for its information, not interpretation.
