Because CharityFocus is an all-volunteer organization, our overhead is very low. In fact, it would be a fair approximation to say that our overhead is practically 0%, when compared to the value of the services that we provide.
Although we don't actively fundraise, advertise or promote any commercial interests, we do have expenses. For the next year, our anticipated budget is stated below.
