Organizations such as the one you mentioned, do follow accounting rules and disclosure. They are up front and tell you that x percentage goes to their administrative expense.

Wayne admitted to a conflict of interest which is what a reasonable person would expect him to do. However he should have just stated the COI up front. If he had, you wouldn't be trying to defend & justify the awkward position he put himself in.

If he had said (hypothetical), Please donate to this worthy cause, 5% of the amount raised will go towards administrative expenses, and my company bearhonstock will be the one supplying the bears, ...

If he'd said something like that up front, there would be no issue. Wayne said he resolved the issue, but you aren't happy with his remarks. I guess you would have preferred Wayne not admit COI.

oh by the way: I have had an alternative for years now.
