Is there any charity (older than five years) where the majority of the money doesn’t go to administrative staff?

yes, check program expense ratios

  • this is all insane. it assumes you want charity forever! the initial assumption is already wrong.

    • did you mean to reply to my comment? if yes, can I ask you to explain what do you mean by assumption? where is that coming from?

      regarding WMF (and other non-profits, like Mozilla), this is a well-known phenomenon - regarding C-suite compensation (it's usually about risk aversion, and that the board or whatever foundations have, is also usually sitting on other non-profits, and rarely they optimize by moving to the cheapest place and hiring folks for much cheaper, etc)
