Administration fee is less important than overall impact, which I assume is what people who worry about overhead actually care about. There are plenty of evaluators that skip worrying about overhead and get to them meat of the issue, how much does this charity help per dollar.
- remram 5y agoWhat's the difference? What portion of your dollar is neither "help" nor "overhead"?

- colinmhayes 5y agoThe impact of the dollar changes depending on what you spend it on. If you want to help veterans there are tons of ways to do that ranging from mental health outreach, to political action, to just giving them money. You can figure out which organization has the most impact per dollar and donate there. Handing out money to veterans might have extremely low overhead since it can be done by a single person mailing out checks, but that doesn't mean it's the most effective way to help.
- Clubber 5y agoIf any company takes 90% for administration, it's a scam, no if's and's or but's. That's actually a net negative impact because it gives people pause when donating to charities.
