Same here. I'm not about to give to an organization that will waste a good portion of my donation. A big reason why I like non-profits handling social issues rather than the Feds, the gov tends to be inefficient. If you can't find a local organization that you see as worthy of your monetary donation, might I suggest try just volunteering your time? Somewhere like a food bank for example. Just a thought
