This is link bait. Almost 80% of their total funding goes to research, education, and helping those who suffer from ALS and their families. The rest goes to fundraising and administrative costs.
As far as non-profits go, I hold the mark to be around 80% should go to the cause. Which I feel like the ALS foundation does. Just because it isn't all going to research, doesn't mean that it isn't helping people. It is hard to base a charity entirely around research because you usually can't have a visible everyday impact on people's lives. Education and helping the families help people understand how serious ALS is and encourages them to take action.
TL;DR this article is sensationalist bullshit
