Give locally and directly to causes you care about, not through these filtering operations.

The reality is that for a lot of charities these are major organizations. And major organizations need major figures at the top to run them and that demands competitive pay.
And yes, 20% off the top would be something like a standard. The fact that Russell Wilson's charity is like 70% off the top is just ridiculous beyond belief.
charitynavigator.com is a good resource if you're giving to a well-established charity and want details on their activities.
