In these times of belt tightening by us all, I would urge charitable organisations to adopt a policy whereby they spell out very clearly what percentage of any donation will reach the people who need help,  i.e. break out administrative and other costs.  If one were reliably informed as to how much of one’s donations will actually reach the intended recipient(s), one could ensure that the more efficient charities receive contributions, while at the same time probably making all charities more cost effective as they compete for funds.
