I think CBC's argument is very valid. Ultimately, you want a high percentage of your donations going directly to the end individual. Me as a donator want that rather than much of it going to admin costs - whether it's a work donation or a charity golf gala. If the admin costs are high for golfing, hold it at a cheap golf course. Or don't have an event in an expensive venue. From the outside it appears that some of these charities don't care about how much the costs are, and that's exactly the problem. To be a charity there can't be anyone making six figures and there has to be fiscal responsibility to the donor as much as the receiver.
