What this counts

What it cost to raise each dollar of contributions.

Exact rule: Cost = total fundraising expenses (Form 990 Part I line 16b, Part IX column D) / contributions, gifts and grants (Part VIII line 1h). Form 990 only; contributions of at least $500,000. Filings from organizations reporting at least $10,000,000 in revenue or $50,000,000 in total assets that year.

Special events, capital campaigns and first-year donor drives often cost more than they bring in the same year. Contributions include government grants, which cost little to raise. Some organizations raise money for a related organization, so the costs land on one return and the gifts on another.
