Our recommendations:
If you wish to donate money to a non-profit religious organization, and if you believe in "liberty and justice for all," we recommend that you select a group that exhibits religious tolerance, and minimal sexism, racism, homophobia, and xenophobia in their broadcasts and publications.
If "liberty and justice for all" is not a prime concern, we recommend that you select an agency whose highest executive officer is a volunteer, as evidenced by a $0 figure in the right column. That way, a minimal amount of your donation will be diverted to pay for their salary.
If you feel that the largeer executive salaries are a disgrace to the religious community then we recommend that you go to http://www.prettygoodnews.com/ and consider supporting that group financially. They post their financial statement at that location.
