Hi Tams,

Salvation Army is on the list. Here's the link for their 2011 listing. Please note this is for the Salvation Army national office, so the numbers aren't consolidated for all Salvation Army organizations.

Going through the lists of all these wonderful organizations, I was disapointed to see that the Salvation Army is no where to be found. The Salvation Army is an International charitable organization in over 100 countries that does fantastic work, and should be ackowledged.

Why would I VOLUNTEER when the CEO of these charities is pulling in hundreds of thousands of dollars from donations ……. why would I volunteer to help make he or she richer ???????

Could not agree more. The grade is just a quick look from one person's point of view. I would recommend everyone make sure they completely check out the organization.

I find it intriguing that the Red Cross earns an 86% efficiency rating while spending 33% of donations on fund raising, whereas World Vision earns an 82% efficiency rating while spending 15.2% of donations on fund raising. For me, efficiency would be the % of donations going to programmes, rather than % of expenditures.
One of my concerns is that the information I see in the media never seems to show the organizations on the ground – I have yet to see a story or photo of the Red Cross or World Vision in action in Haiti or the Horn of Africa.

Rubbish. You must obviously work for or are affiliated with one of those charities fleecing donors. I for one will now only donate to the A+ charities. If you don't make the grade, you're not going to get my money unless you pull up your grades. Simple mathematics. Not rocket science.
