How Is Our Overhead Rate 3.9%?

We are an all volunteer organization (except for our program staff in Zambia). In the west, we participate as an act of sacrificial service. We hold the conviction that charity should involve selfless dedication. By forgoing any administrative pay, we ensure our programs in Zambia are carried out with maximum financial impact. Our overhead rate during the most recent year was just 3.9%.
