How much of my contribution goes to projects vs. operations?

Back to faqs
General

The percentage of your monthly contribution that goes directly to funding projects versus operational costs is not fixed and will fluctuate.

However, we strive for transparency in how we allocate funds. Here are approximations:

  • 44% Staff: Covers salaries, wages, benefits, and related costs for our core team and contractors.

  • 35% Impact: Directly invested in projects and initiatives that advance our mission.

  • 9% Marketing: Supports outreach, member engagement, and community growth—helping us scale our collective impact.

  • 12% Overheads: Covers essential operational costs such as utilities, rent, software, and admin.

It's important to note that our staff and marketing spend directly contributes to expanding our reach and ability to fund more projects over time. As we grow and achieve economies of scale, we aim to gradually increase the percentage that goes directly to projects.

We regularly review and optimise this allocation to ensure we maximise every contribution's impact while sustainably growing our platform.
