I recall when Elizabeth Dole left the Cabinet. She got the Red Cross CEO job at 250K per. Big money at that time. That was many, many moons ago. When one scratches away the veneer, IMO it is a business first, a charity second. Example - The March of Dimes was formed to fight the Polio disease. Once the Salk vaccine took care of that, the MOD had to find a new cause or go out of business. No more grants, donations etc. I don't recall what they took up at that time. Now they are into birth defects which is good. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any serious review of how the various charities work and distribute their funds. O'Reilly brought that to the surface when J. Jackson fathered the out of wedlock child recently.
