The charts illustrate the revenue sources and expenditure allocation of a charitable organization in the USA for the year 2016.
Overall, it is immediately apparent that the charity was overwhelmingly funded by donated food, while program services accounted for the vast majority of spending. Other categories, by contrast, constituted only a negligible proportion of the totals.
In terms of income, donated food made up a dominant share, contributing 86.6% of the total revenue, which stood at $53,561,580. Community contributions were the second-largest source at 10.4%, albeit significantly lower than donated food. Program revenue accounted for a mere 2.2%, while other income streams – including investment income (0.2%), government grants (0.2%), and other income (0.4%) – were minimal and collectively insignificant.
Turning to expenditures, the vast bulk of the charity’s outgoings was allocated to program services, which comprised an impressive 95.8% of the total $53,224,896. This indicates a strong commitment to core charitable activities. In comparison, fundraising expenses represented just 2.6%, while management and general costs accounted for an even smaller fraction at 1.6%, suggesting that administrative overheads were kept to a minimum.
In conclusion, the charity relied heavily on in-kind donations, particularly food, and demonstrated a highly efficient spending pattern, channeling nearly all of its resources directly into program-related services.
