Admin Ratio Is a Poor Indicator of a Charity's Effectiveness | Marina Glogovac

Admin Ratio Is a Poor Indicator of a Charity's Effectiveness | Marina Glogovac: "But when we look at charities to support, we suddenly and inexplicably get fixated solely on the "admin ratio" and the overhead, which for charities can include both costs of fundraising and admin expenses. We value charities mostly based on how low the overhead is -- this is a deeply entrenched, if not consciously examined, measuring stick for charities. We want our support to go exclusively toward program delivery and not into staff, operations, technology, or training and development -- as if the two are completely unrelated."
