Your money is accounted for!

We take our commitment to accountability very seriously. You work hard for your money and we make sure your money works hard for you.

About 83% of all funds expended goes toward helping people who really need help. The rest, about 17 cents of every dollar, goes towards fund-raising and administrative expenses - an unprecedented level of dollar efficiency.

Experienced volunteers evaluate agency applications for funding and ensure that your contributions are well spent.
