Our independently audited financial statements consistently show that nearly 9 out of every 10 dollars we spend goes to programs and services for children and families in need. We keep administrative costs low so that more funding goes to children's programs.  In fiscal year 2017, 86% of all expenditures went to program services, 9% went to fundraising and 5% went to management and general.
