See my post to you, it contains the answers.

Did I explain poorly? It wasn't on purpose. I've replied to many personal attacks here today, and have been hurrying along to leave this place. I will try again, and try to do a better job for you all.

I look forward now, btw, to your comments on the posts of your fellow thread denizens! Start with The Street, perhaps.

These are the facts:

Greatergood receives not more than 25% of the corporate donations to
offset development and maintenance costs of the site. (Monthly server costs alone
are over 23,000.) Since the hosting fees, which equate to every charity's overhead
costs (except they're much lower than average), are figured into the donation totals
each month, 100% of what you donate with your click goes to the Hunger Site
beneficiaries.


What that means is that when you read the monthly donation-of-food totals, which I always do with interest, you should be aware that the 25% administration, or hosting, fee has already been deducted from that, so don't deduct it again in your head.

And as I said in my later post to you, MercyCorps' overhead was 5.7% in 1999.

What was the Red Cross's?
