This is clearly neither a sub- or super- set with NGOs, or foundations, but may be worth looking at. Someone I know in New York used to work for them and said that their mandate is mainly to stop charity scams, but they also look at percentage of funds put directly into action (i.e. rather than admin costs). Cheers, Nic. Steve,
