Of that, $523,097 was spent toward administrative and fundraising costs—the remainder was disbursed among our program services which assist post-9/11 service members and their families. Based upon this information, the percentage breakdown is 79% program and 21% administrative.
2. What kind of grants do you receive?
We receive two kinds of grants, unrestricted and restricted. Unrestricted grants are used for any USA Cares program, in any location.
