I’ve heard that “charities” such as Cancer Research UK are actually business who invest very little of their income to actual research, instead paying relatively a lot more for media and payroll?
£545 million spent on research and £42 million on public information out of £672 million raised. So approx 13% spent on administration.
yes it should be better, but i would like to see a full comparison
Here is the actual study for your perusal

Unfortunately, it only covers the 7 countries that funded the study, but it is much more in depth than the news article.
