We take the business of investing and managing your gift very seriously. The Better Business Bureau recommends that nonprofits spend no more than 35% on fundraising expenses; our fundraising and administrative costs as a percent of total spending has been approximately 19% in recent years. Moreover, this overhead is offset by a charitable trust created by Textron founder Royal Little in 1937 for our benefit. This means your donations directly fund programs that serve people in need.
