Cost of Fundraising & Administration
We spend around 9% of our income on Fundraising and Administration, meaning you can have confidence that we ensure that the maximum possible goes to changing lives through singing.
For the money we spend on fundraising, we operate on a Return on Investment of 1:7.8, meaning that for every £1 we spend on fundraising, we generate £7.80 in return.
For this reason, we are stepping up our fundraising efforts. Please do get in touch with rachel@therodolfusfoundation.com to talk about your gift.
