A charitable trust dealing with online human trafficking and online cybercrime.
Yes, in most Countries donations would be tax deductible
Funding goes to specific or general activities such as:
Program Services, the core activities of the charity’s work such as the direct costs of delivering the organization’s programs and services to its beneficiaries.
Administrative Costs associated with running the organization include salaries for administrative staff, rent and utilities for office space, accounting and legal fees, and information technology.
Fundraising Costs incurred in raising funds like direct mail campaigns and online fundraising platforms, fundraising events, and salaries for fundraising staff.
There may be other potential spending like investing money to generate more income.
Key Considerations are transparency, efficiency, and program effectiveness.
Organizations like CharityWatch suggest that a high-efficiency rating is when a charity spends 75% or more of its expenses on charitable programs.
There’s no single perfect number. Ideally, you want a high percentage going to programs, but some administrative costs are essential for a charity to function effectively.
The size of the charity may influence the percentage, e.g. smaller charities may have lower overhead costs whilst larger charities may have higher administrative costs but can also achieve greater scale and impact.
Also, the type of charity may influence the percentage, e.g. charities providing emergency relief will naturally have very high program expenses whilst others like research institutions, may have higher administrative costs.
