Rating by External Agencies

Charitable organizations are typically rated on the industry basis of expense to program. This ratio determines the amount of overhead dollars compared to actual program expenses for the organization, sometimes also known as "Cost to Raise $100". A typical average for a not-for-profit organization is around 15-20%

One of our biggest recurring expenses is the fees to Auditors. While we could do this ourselves we strongly feel that having outside Auditors review our books makes it a worthwhile exercise for our donor community. A copy of the Auditors report is available to you upon request.
