The thing that keeps coming to mind is that they dealt with tens of thousands of charities, with the potential of requiring expensive customer service.
The cost of running the program is surely a good fraction of the total amount donated.

About half was board members buying stuff for the league. You really had to push it to make anything - the most successful example I found was a league that used the same logo as a college sports team across the country. They made a “store” for parent gear that just went to Amazon Smile links. Amazon was super easy to setup, but there are many companies with better programs in the space.
