If someone experiences great loss due to fire there is an out pouring of giving from community members. The same sort of thing happens if someone becomes ill/injured and cannot work.

As Velvetfog shared, mainstream charity organizations use large amounts of revenues on internal administration costs.
Analysis: Here, are the most accurate figures for the above-listed executives. (as of 2003)
•Marsha J. Evans, President and CEO of the American Red Cross, was paid $468,599 in salary and benefits in fiscal 2003. (Source: BBB Wise Giving Alliance)
•Brian Gallagher, President and CEO of United Way, was paid $432,709 in salary and benefits in fiscal 2003. (Source: Charity Navigator)
•W. Todd Bassett, National Commander of the Salvation Army, was paid (along with his wife, who also works for the organization) $94,091 in salary and benefits in 2003 (including house and car). (Source: Fayetteville Observer)
