I think the foundations that many professional athletes should be on this list. I laugh when I read that Super Star “X” raised $100,000 for cancer research when the guy makes 15 million a year.

I do not know if it still does but several years ago World Vision managed to get over 90% of the money donated in to feeding the starving

This website “charitynavigator” is great. World Vision shows 85.6% goes to their programs.

You can search other charities as well.

Bing "Bono one percent" sometime. His charity only gives about one percent it raises to actually fund anything but themselves. It was shown a few years ago that what a celebrity will do is claim that their time is worth about twice as much as normal when working for a charity. Then they donate half of that to get the tax break. So they can then pocket the remaining money tax free.

The celebrities that do that are usually liberals who believe people "like" themselves should pay higher taxes. Just not them personally.
