…Savvy donors know that the
most efficient charities spend at
least 75% of their budget on their
programs and services and less
than 25% on fundraising and
administrative fees. They
understand that a charity’s ability
to sustain its programs over time is
just as important as its short-term
day-to-day spending practices.
