I usually agree with your point of view (and find you humorous at times) but I’m going to share with you the following story.

A fundraiser was collecting for his yeshiva saying that they wanted to pay their staff in full before Yom Tov. One person whose door he knocked on asked how the yeshiva could possibly need money if they just spent $17,000,000 on their new building.

“Simple”, answered the fundraiser, “people will give money to have their names on a building, they won’t give money to have salaries paid”.

To an outsider, what may look like mismanaged funds, is actually money donated to be used towards a specific cause.
