Programs expenditure ratio
Plan International Canada ensures that a maximum amount of money goes to programs that benefit children in the countries where we work, keeping administrative costs low and program spending high.
We acknowledge that fundraising and operations expenditure is critical to ensure that future programs can be funded, our supporter base can grow, and that both can be supported adequately with systems and infrastructure.
The costs of fundraising and operations are at an average of 19 cents of each dollar raised, with the remaining 81 cents of every dollar going to programs that benefit children, their families and communities.
