They are the only two using what is given to them.  Salvation Army does have some expenses and yes, they do pay out a small salary, The Lions Clubs give 100% of donations received.

The current National Commander of the Salvation Army, Israel L. Gaither, is paid somewhere between $79,389 and $243,248 annually for his services.

I looked into this and found it's true but that's quite a difference there, maybe he received 79k in a slow year? I always thought it was a lot less than this.
