hi shani -
a) what did you mean by "You have to differentiate between a USA non profit
and an Israeli one." what are the differences? i have found over 20+ years
that there is no real differences between non-profits in israel and in the
west.
b) and secondly, you wrote "This is not up to your amutas decision.There
are laws to protect your status.These regulations are standard when your
accountant prepares the annual finnacial report.Only a certain amount can
go for overhead."
while indeed a non-profit can't choose to put legitimate overhead expenses
in the program line, a non-profit is in full control of how it chooses to
spend its money. (and, by the way, i personally don't always trust the
accountant's financial report since there are discrepancies in how various
expenses are reported).

not sure i exactly understand the question, but i usually recommend
looking at it from a different angle: total cost of overhead including
fundraising. and i usually recommend 10%-15% as an upper limit.
other options include some formula to see "for every shekel spent on
fundraising, we bring in X shekels" or, perhaps, even better, "for every
shekel spent on fundraising (and/or overhead), we accomplish X shekels
worth of program"

Subject: [Fundraisers Forum] Re: Cost of fundraising as a percentage
I think 25% sounds like the highest you would ever want. I would aim for
like 20%.
Also, it is funny that is what your CFO says. All the small organizations
that I work with spend way less than 10% and they are running their
organizations into the ground because of it.
Well you could figure out your score from Charity Navigator's system.

Or read what the Association of Fundraising Professionals has to say.

I recently had a major donor ask me what our organizations cost ofand
fundraising was versus what we raise. Our CFO tells me that ours is 25%
that he feels that is low. The donor, feels that this is high, buttells me
that he will be asking all organizations that he donates to, to report.I'd
be very happy to hear any input that anyone has on this or can directme to
any studies that have been done that show what industry standards are.
Thank you in advance.
