There are over 170,000 charities in Britain. Some are run well, some are run very badly and some are even bogus charities and a total fraud (like most ‘can shakers’ that go around Pubs & Bars asking for donations.)
Every charity has admin costs, like staff pay, marketing costs, real estate office rental, tax accountancy, IT management, etc. So a big chunk of every pound / Dollar donated is lost to overhead costs.
So why not have one charity for every cause, all overseen by the Charities Commission? It saves duplication of overhead costs, saves public confusion, maximises benefit to the causes, stops con men, etc. etc.
According to charityfacts.org, Britain has over 600 different cancer charities registered. Why not just one or two?
Am I missing something, or onto something here?
