The affiliated entities share various administrative costs which allow us to maximize program spending.  For the years ended 6/30/17 and 6/30/18, administrative costs for the combined entities were 8.4% and 9.3%, respectively. Fundraising costs are minimized by volunteer efforts and were both 3.4% for the years ended 6/30/17 and 6/30/18.
