Jewish Organizations of the 21st Century

As I was approached by a fellow asking for money for his "Kids at Risk Yeshiva" I asked him if he owned the place. He responded that he didn't own it but worked with kids. The Yeshiva had reached a point where they couldn't function anymore and couldn't have their summer camp for lack of funds. I asked the collector what his job was. He responded by telling me that he worked with the kids but now everybody was collecting. Here are my thoughts:
-He should working full time to support the organization
-There are many people who can and would love to work with kids but not many people willing to work full time to support the kids at risk organization
-If you asked the head of the organization what he needed more, a guy to work with the kids or money, i think it is safe to assume that he would answer that more than anything else he needs money.
-If somebody wanted to really help the organization to the best of his ability why doesn't he do what the head of the organization would tell him would help most?
-It is the same for almost every organization today. They lack funding and if they had funding they could conquer the world, they lack nothing else.
-Again if all these organizations just lack funding and everybody wants to help why don't they all go work and bring money to those organizations, this includes Torah organizations too.
