Based on what the parent said only 3% of that $77m is to run the site. The rest is spent on frivolous things I imagine if that's all it takes and they're still soliciting donations.

> 3% of that $77m is to run the site

And that are outdated numbers from 2015.

2021 report:

$153m dollars in donations spent on $67m in salaries, $10m in grants (surprisingly low, in 2020 it was $20m), $2m in hosting and like $10-20m in other professional expenses.

Net assets at the end of 2021 now at $231 mio.

Well that's even worse! If they now have $231M and use $2M a year on hosting, that's under 0.9%.
