Cozy Coats for Kids is run (by Maggie) really well with nearly all the donations going to the mission. I actually can’t find a charity that has a higher percent going to its mission than Cozy Coats for Kids. We have no payroll (everyone is a volunteer) and shipping is donated by Inspector Outlet. We had a total of $2,500 in overhead last year. All the rest went to buy custom coats for needy kids.
Here are some other well-known charities that also have high mission spending vs donations, some approaching 90% (less than 10% spent on overhead and fundraising). The rest are above 75%. So they are all good charities to donate to.
- St. Jude’s Hospital (really good at about 90% going to their mission).
- Habitat for Humanity
- Salvation Army
- United Way
- UNICEF
- Doctors
- American Red Cross
- Goodwill
Here are some other well-known charities that have mediocre mission sending vs donations:
- American Breast Cancer Foundation (only about 45% going to their mission).
- Wounded Warrior Project
- Feed the Children
Here are some other well-known charities that have very low mission spending vs donations. These are not good charities to donate to.
- Children’s Wish Foundation (only about 15% going to their mission)
- Cancer Fund of American (only about 5% going to their mission).
- Kids Wish Network (only 1% going to their mission)
Here is the worst one:
- Black Lives Matter (0% going to their mission, a scam).
