How much of each contribution is spent on administrative costs?
Only 15 cents out of every dollar pledged covers fundraising expenses and other administrative costs. It’s an investment well made when you consider that the nationally accepted maximum limits for non-profit overhead costs vary from 40 percent to 50 percent. The Philanthropic Advisory Service of the Council of Better Business Bureaus sets the maximum permissible rate for overhead costs at non-profit organizations at 50 percent. The National Charities Information Bureau sets the rate at 40 percent.
