I knew the Red Cross weren't that stupid.

I was pretty confused by those articles going around. This makes much more sense. Still my favourite NGO.

You should call and ask them what their administration fees regarding disaster funds are like.

I’ve worked for their national office. Yes, they have administration expenses. They’re run by highly educated, dedicated employees, and yes, my understanding is that the pay is quite good (though I was a volunteer helping with a short term admin project). It’s how they attract the best people so that they can do what they do. It just wouldn’t be possible with only volunteers.
