And from the link: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/824...

- Other Salaries and Wages $9,665,761 - Executive Compensation $744,037

So about $10,400,000 a year in compensation and wages, or about 21% of their running costs.

So if I give 5 euros, 1 of this will go to salaries. I'd say not terrible. I wouldn't be surprised if most charities are worse.

One just have to get over the feeling that I'm donating to a charity of people who make 50x more money than I do with a comparable skill set.
