Who: Zakat Foundation of America
Why are they special? Responds to disaster needs while also fostering long term development. Zakat appears to be a Muslim concept of tithing but it only kicks in when a certain "minimum threshold" of wealth is achieved.
One of their goals is to minimize administrative costs by having a small administrative staff. The head guy makes $60,000--the smallest salary we've ever reported for a charity. That's showing you mean it in real time.
