CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| We are pleased with the overall governance of our program. Our initial founding documents called for us to keep administrative costs under 30% with 70% going towards programming costs. We have averaged administrative costs of 20% with 80% of contributions going towards programs. The board is currently in discussions to establish a YAB Advisory Fund so that we might increase our opportunities to receive securities and other gifts. We are also developing our Audit Committee. |
