How to Read This Data

Every nonprofit has three main spending categories: Programs (the actual charitable work), Administration (management, accounting, HR), and Fundraising (campaigns to raise money). The best charities maximize program spending while keeping overhead lean.

What's a good ratio? CharityWatch considers 75%+ program spending to be efficient. The BBB Wise Giving Alliance recommends at least 65%. Anything below 50% should raise questions.
