Many charities spend their money on doing things for the betterment of society and those people need to be paid a salary for their work. If there's a charity that cleans up parks, I would assume their wage expenses would be high to pay for the people doing the cleanup work.
Not saying that there's not grift in the nonprofit world, but my experience with a lot of people who work in this space is that they're good stewards of the funds and very dedicated to trying to help the world be a better place.

Would be interesting to see some kind of grift estimate as a heat map where the X axis = revenue and the Y axis = age.
Indeed, what higher purpose is there except to pay oneself. At sufficiently low levels of productivity, one can consume arbitrary amounts of charitable donations. In fact, the ideal charity is a large vote bloc that is paid to clean parks. A tough job, a hard job, and one that requires back breaking labor of 4 sq. ft. a day.
