Please do not look at the financial aspect of most big charity organisation:

when small/start-up, may be 10 or 20% is spent on management,
advertisement, and other local (rich-country) posts.

But once big enough, it happens often than 80% of received money get
spent on structural posts ("we are big, we need a central office; we
need permanent staff; we need efficient advertisement to collect more
money; our directing board needs accommodations for planes & hotels
worldwide; we need to rent exposition centres to achieve better
knowledge of our actions in our donators... ")
