No, that's not how it works, nor should it. If they raise $50 million and need to spend $40 million on relief efforts here, they're not going to take that extra $10 million and give you a rebate. On the other hand, they might raise $50 million directly and need to spend $100 million. It's impossible to say in advance.
Does it matter exactly where which dollar goes? Is this something they should spend time on, thereby using money and resources tracking every donation that would be better spent on actual aid delivery? Do I care if someone in Singapore gets a few cents on my dollar to help them with disasters of their own? I certainly shouldn't.
