What percentage of MCC's budget is used for administrative overhead?

In recent years approximately 15 to 19 percent of MCC’s budget was spent on administrative overhead. MCC strives to maintain a proper balance between overhead expenses and the ability to provide effective programs and services.

Overhead expenses related to disasters like the recent earthquake in Haiti are less. The percentage depends on the amount of money raised and the costs involved. In any case, the overhead for disasters is not more than 10 percent and is often less.
