> I see big problems with this type of arrangement - you raise ten dollars while spending five thousand on the event itself. Yet you will call this a charity event?
This reminds me of when people complain about charities paying their CEO well.
Would you rather pay a CEO $100k to bring in $1million in charity funds, or pay a CEO $1million to bring in $5million in charity funds?
Same here. Would you rather run a successful event that brings in $5k in charity funds, or an event run by amateurs who end up bringing in $1k in charity funds?
There's an argument to be made about transparency, and organizations that take all this too far (90+% is clearly too much), but end results matter.
