IIRC, They also use a very large percentage of donations for admin and advertising. Only a very small portion of what they take in goes to actual cancer research. (They are not the only “charity” guilty of this. I am now a little wiser and try to check out the charities I donate to to see how much of my donation just funds the fat cats who run it.) If anyone knows otherwise, please correct me.
Actually, the BBB has a good report on them. The majority of their funds goes to services, not administration:
