Excellent charities succeed because their resources are not tied up
in fundraising. They find creative ways to spend less to raise more,
thereby maximizing the resources they can devote to their programs.
These 10 charities are not so fortunate or efficient. They spend more
than $0.50 to raise each dollar in support, making them four times less
efficient than the average charity. This inefficiency forces them to
devote more than 40% of their budgets to fundraising, limiting the
difference they can make with your dollars.
