| > costs of fundraising How does a charity spend money unless people give it money? They need to fund raise. There's only so far you can get with volunteers shaking tins on streets. If a TV adverts costs £X but raises 2X, is that a sensible cost? Here's a random UK charity which spent £15m on fund raising. https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/ch... That allowed them to raise 3X the amount they spent. Tell me if you think that was unnecessary? Sure, buying the CEO a jet should start ringing alarm bells, but most charities have costs. If you want a charity to be well managed, it needs to pay for staff, audits, training, etc. |
Maybe, but quite possibly not, because that 2X didn't magically appear, it came out of other people's pockets, and you've got to properly account for that as a negative impact you're having.
