Fundraising cost per dollar raised
“The Most Expensive Dollar”
Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing. Report an error.
What this counts
What it cost to raise each dollar of contributions.
Exact rule: Cost = total fundraising expenses (Form 990 Part I line 16b, Part IX column D) / contributions, gifts and grants (Part VIII line 1h). Form 990 only; contributions of at least $500,000. Filings from organizations reporting at least $10,000,000 in revenue or $50,000,000 in total assets that year.
Special events, capital campaigns and first-year donor drives often cost more than they bring in the same year. Contributions include government grants, which cost little to raise. Some organizations raise money for a related organization, so the costs land on one return and the gifts on another.
