Philanthropy is trickle down

[Wawannabe]

Philanthropist trickles a little or a lot into a charity.

Yes. The employees of said charity gets paid.
And, marketers for said charity get paid.
Utilities for said charity get paid.
Rent and supplies are covered.

...but how much of every dollar actually goes to the charity’s end client?

They can muster that money in a week but anything for poor folks... let it trickle down. Edit: I know the correct spelling.

Your local library?

Your park?
