Fundraising - Skimming - Unethical?

[Aliantha]

I think if you do volunteer for something there can be a lot of expenses associated with it. I guess that's why many charity workers are independantly wealthy. They can afford the out of pocket expenses.

To me it comes down to whether you need the charity more than the charity you're working for.

I don't think I'd skim even if I needed the money for whatever reason. It just doesn't seem quite right although I can understand the reasons and wouldn't begrudge someone else for doing it.
