Yep, I dislike big salaries unless they can be justified. The President of Food for the Poor makes 350k I think, but he also manages almost $1 billion. I think his salary is something like .03% of expenses.

However, the most rewarding gift I can give is time through volunteer work. I would rather get out an physically make a difference, however, giving money is also a good thing.

Check out the Salvation Army. Here is a link to their annual report:

83% of their income goes directly to programs by which they serve those in need. The organization is run like the military with those in charge having titles like "Captain," etc. The people who actually work for the Salvation Army get small salaries, including the CEO.
