POL Financials

100% of donations from private donors go towards implementing our programs. These funds directly reaches the people in our programs as food, medicines, education and and healthcare services. We target institutional funders to cover the development aspects of our programs and 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 research and development of programs, and use the remaining 80% for implementation of programs.
