Quotes

Susan Hitchii, a trustee of various organisations including the Sigrid Rausing Foundation has said: "i'm often worried if a charity claims very low admin costs. either they're fudging it to try to please a funder, which doesn't promise much of a relationship, or their admin really is rock bottom, in which case they're unlikely to be well run. you can't run an effective organisation with barely any cost. grants are usually more effective if the charity is spending a realistic amount on its core costs."
