85% of every dollar you donate to DU goes directly to habitat conservation. Only 15% goes to administrative costs. That's one of the best ratios there is in conservation world. To get that you need to be a big organization.Take 'em wrote:What percentage of donations, membership money, events, ect go towards habitat vs paying salaries and non habitat related finances out of the 3 mentioned above? Basically what percentage per dollar goes into the ground is what I'm asking. That is a question you don't see asked much. I have been told what DU's and DW's are but can't think of them off the top of my head
As I said above, DW is a research organization. If you are looking for the % of their income that goes to habitat, it's minimal. Like low single digits. They aren't structurally built for that. They receive about $1 mil a year in contributions, and almost all of it goes to paying it's employees, and giving grants to universities who participate in environmental studies.
To answer what I believe the TS asked, all of these organizations have very similar grass roots committees based on the same platform. The only major differences you'll find are in the individuals who run them.
