What are the administration or overhead costs for United Way?
In 2005, operational costs and administrative expenses reflected trends of the last decade, with costs holding steady at approximately 15% of revenues or less. That’s pretty impressive when you consider that Better Business Bureau and National Charities Information Bureau guidelines suggest fundraising costs should not exceed 35% and total fundraising and administrative costs should not exceed 50% of total income. United Way is committed to keeping costs at a minimum so that your dollars can have the greatest impact in the community.
