Most organizations have paid staff that arent directly related to the organzation, Like a Yeshivas has office workers, clerical workers and some have R’L “FUND RAISERS” people whose jobs it is to raise funds

Do you think if you go to a dinner 100% of the money go to the organization. They have to pay for the food, room rental, The Journal etc

The more you need to collect, the harder it gets and the more expensive it is.

Raising $10 isnt that difficult and raising $100 isnt that difficult, but raising $10,000 is harder you need time and maybe money to do so.

I do have problems with the charity we are discussing here for various reasons not for this discussion, but they raised $34 Million. That is quite hard to do, You need to pay to get this.

Is anyone going to seriously poskin that if you give money to a yeshiva, you only get tzedkah credit if the money goes to learning, but you dont get credit if the money is used to pay the secretary who answers the phone or the desks in the offices
