Today JAINA does not have sufficient funds for indirect expense…it collects 3% overhead from projects Direct Expenses Direct costs are those that fund resources which directly produce services to clients, for example JAINA education books, Calendar, etc… Today’s biggest project JAINA has undertaken is “JAINA convention every two years” (1M+) …..Total so far (7M+) since 1981 Usually, the lower your indirect expenses, the more it looks like your resources are going directly to services…..best practice is not to exceed 3% indirect expenses April 3rd, 2010 JLC_2010 6
