Expenses and Philanthropic Spending
Monique Burr Foundation appears to spend their money well, with over 85% of their spending going directly to their mission. We like to see a nonprofit spends at least 75% on their mission, so 85% is decent. They do have high fundraising costs which may not be justified by the amount it brings in (fundraising cost $305,446 and the events brought in $210,096).EXPENSES
| TOTAL EXPENSES | PROGRAM EXPENSES | ADMIN EXPENSES | FUNDRAISING EXPENSES | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Percentage of spending | 85.0% | 3.5% | 11.5% |
Our Conclusion
The Monique Burr Foundation provides a service that is certainly needed. However, large deficits and high fundraising expenses earns them CAUTIOUSLY RECOMMEND rating.
