Financials
100% of individual donations go to implementing our pilots. This money directly reaches the people in our programs as food, medicine, and healthcare. We target institutional funders to cover the development aspects of our programs. We specifically seek funding that can be used to cover overheads and administration.
Annually, we have capped our overhead costs at 9% of all our expenses, but typically come below this figure. Of the program funding, we allocate 20% for the research and development of the programs, and use the remaining 80% for implementation of the programs.
