What percentage of a charity’s income is ‘acceptable’ for use in fundraising?
Filed Under fundraising
Gar asked:
A lot of charities seem to use most of their income on fundraising and just a fraction on services. I know it takes money to raise money, but what’s an acceptable balance? Is there a better category for this question?

I don’t think this is a regulated percentage.
Some charities spend an awful lot raising money, and the bulk goes toward the fundraising effort itself.
They are required to divulge the percentage.
