Where your money goes
More than 94 percent of CFCA's expenses go toward program support.
We assign the highest reasonable amount of available resources to the direct benefits of sponsored members. In 2010, only 3 percent of our expenses were for administration. Fundraising accounted for just 2.7 percent of our total expenses.
Total program support represented 94.3 percent of expenses. A total of $93.4 million was disbursed in direct assistance to our projects for the benefit of the children, youth and aging persons we serve.
Despite a difficult economic climate, total contributions from our dedicated supporters actually increased from the previous year. CFCA's total contributions and revenues exceeded $109.3 million in 2010.
The CFCA community is profoundly thankful for such a tremendous commitment from our sponsors and donors!
CFCA is a 501(c) (3) non-profit corporation, federal EIN: 43-1243999. Contributions are tax-deductible as allowed by law unless otherwise noted. To view the 2011 IRS tax determination letter, click here.
