by ‘wasted’, i mean not only stolen or misused (those are obvious no-no’s!) but also, wasted in their use. that is, are they being used efficiently and effectively.

a place with an overhead of 35% means that only 65% of your money is going do tzedakah (feed hungry people, for example). keep your eyes open!
