Charity navigator used to be a good way to tell if a non-profit was corrupt, but I think the "charities" got wise about it, because now, even ones known to be corrupt, look ok when viewing the stats on that website; the clinton foundation being a good example. Red cross may still be obvious, based on percent of donations that actually go toward the organizations mission, but I haven't checked in a few years. (the red cross, American Cancer Society, and others, used to have a ridiculously high percentage allotted for "fund raising") Of course, any non-profit can pay their executives whatever they want, because the organization isn't "making a profit", even if the executives are getting wealthy from it. Too bad someone doesn't push for a law that would limit executive salaries at non-profits.
