i've wondered the same thing about the overhead. the argument given to me by some friends in non-profits is that raising money is an art and they have to compete with profit companies for the same people. hence they offer high salaries for c-level positions who can bring in money. there are only so many people that are willing to do it for a under industry salary.

not sure i agree one way or another, but penny for your thoughts.

Do they set some kind of limit of how much of the donations can go to management and administration?
