In Their Own Words… “School Lunch program dollars provides less than .82 per meal but costs us, with labor, new required food options, required posters and menu planning, more than $1.85 per meal. That loss does not include the administrative costs and overhead.” “New State grant for homeless services allows ZERO overhead and almost no program-specific costs besides staff time and direct client assistance.” “Recent government contracts/grants, especially state and local, have started to capadministrative expenses at 10% even though our organization has a federally approved indirect rate.” Source: 2013 “pulse poll” conducted by Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits.
