I donate a certain amount of month to a different charity and I love that list of charities that you posted! Do you know what percentage of your donations is actually used? Like charitywater used 100% of your money,but some charities only use like 50% and the rest goes to pay their employees and for administrative costs and what not.
Great question! Here is what I could find out:
National Geographic’s Big Cats Initiative: this one is a little tricky because National Geographic generates revenue from many different sources and have costs the other charities here don’t. You can find a breakdown of their income and expenditure for 2010 and 2009 here, in the Financials section.
Save Tigers Now: 83% go towards conservation programs, 12% fundraising, and 5% admin costs (based on WWF as a whole).
The Northern Jaguar Project: no figures were readily available but I have emailed them requesting more information and will let you know!
The Amur Leopard and Tiger Alliance: 100% of donations received through their website go towards conservation activities in Russia.
ETA: The Northern Jaguar Project responded to let me know that 93% of donations fund conservation projects, with the remaining 7% going towards administration and fund raising expenses.
