Allocation of expenses
The Alzheimer's Association national organization meets or exceeds relevant watchdog standards in its allocation of donor dollars. According to the BBB Wise Giving Alliance, nonprofit organizations should spend at least 65 percent of its total expenses on program activities, with remaining funds going to administrative and fund-raising expenses. At the Alzheimer's Association, 75 percent of our total annual expenses is used for research, care, support, awareness and advocacy and 25 percent is used for general management and fundraising.
