I work with a lot of charities
and with regard to the admin comment, what you have to remember is charities are essentially businesses they just have a different trading model... If you imagine that they are selling the myth of care (in the spiritual sense) when you donate you are "buying some spiritual wellbeing" then they start to make sense with regard to costs.
The larger a charity the exponentially the admin costs go up, they always need to get more "customers" which require more staff to maintain which then need more "customers" etc etc etc
