Charity Navigator is fairly reliable..in terms of finding fake charities and rating reliable ones.
If you donate to top rated charities, you know a great percentage of your donation...goes for the purpose intended..not for administrative expenses such as salaries, cars, vacations, etc..

1. to be fair, there are legitimate admin expenses

but yes, the percentage should be low - when they are very high, it is likely there are big salaries involved
