46. By the way,
$.96 of every dollar raised (including in kind donations of toys) by Toys for Tots goes to program services. That's extremely good - but Second Harvest/Feeding America is even better at $.98 of every dollar raised (including donated food) going to program services.

(http://charityreports.bbb.org/public/Report.aspx?CharityID=1599 and http://charityreports.bbb.org/public/Report.aspx?CharityID=2331 )

Both these organization are excellent choices for charitable gifts, if your guide is whether the donation you make actually serves the constituents of the organization (as opposed to going to raise more money or administer the program).
