>Much better to just give money to your favourite charity directly.

Checking the (published) 'admin costs' vs actual donated/ used monies is a great way to pick favorites.

I disagree. I'd argue that Wikipedia or the Internet Archive are 100% admin, and that's a good thing. I don't want them spending money paying people to write articles or paying people to add stuff to the archive.

There are a lot of charities in between where some more money on admin (e.g. better training, better organisation) can make the front line workers more effective.
