CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments


The financial information on this site prior to 2005, from our 990's, shows administrative expense as the highest portion of our expenses. This comes from attributing 100% of staff to administrative whereas all administrative staff spend a majority of their time with program duties. Adjusted to account for this division of time Program Expense would be approximately 84% versus the 25-33% as shown in 2003/04. Beginning with 2005 these numbers are correctly divided out and reported on our 990s.
