I would love to buy something in my daughters name for her grandparents xmas such as buying a sheep or cow for a 3rd world country. Have had a look about on the net but unsure how much of my donation is spent on administration and how much actually goes to charity.
Anyone have any ideas?

    have a look at the Intelligent Giving website. I don't agree with the way they do everything, but you can see the figures regarding the amount spent on admin. they also go a good way to explaining why, generally speaking, the amount spent on admin is not nearly as important as people tend to think when you're deciding whether or not to donate.

    Went on a rant that doesn't need to be here.

    Hope the link is of use.
    for more info check out www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk . You'll find me there.
