How much do charity retain from fundraising?

Question

what percentage of money thats charities raise actually goes towards does in need .

Answer 1

It depends on the fundraiser. Most is about 40 to 50 percent but if you do a fundraiser of your own making and donate the money it costs to run it then you can give 100 percent. go on to fundraisers.com and you can see the different ones and what percents they do. Most give 100 percent of the actual profit but that is still probably only 40 to 50 percent of what came in. You have to cover the cost of the materials. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

It's different for every charity.  If you are supporting a charity you can request to see a copy of their audited accounts which will show details of income and expenditure so you see how much has gone on administration and how much on direct charitable work.
