more donors should ask this question. From Forbes: The list shows key efficiency ratios and, if available, the trend from the previous year. Higher is better. Charitable commitment shows how much of total expenses went for the charitable purpose, excluding management, overhead and fundraising. Average: 84%, down 1%. Fundraising efficiency indicates the share of gifts less fundraising expenses. Average: 89%, unchanged. Donor dependency calculates how much of gifts was needed to make ends meet. A number above 100% means the nonprofit needed it all; a negative number, often due to sale of goods and investment gains, not a dime. This ratio dropped to 89% from 107%. This year we also note nonprofits that failed one or more standards set by the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance or didn't supply requested information.
