Charity Efficiency
The Organic Consumer Association received a low rating from the Charity Navigator organization. Between 2005 and 2006, OCA's program expenses accounted for 68% of the organization's spending. Charities typically allocate at least 75% of their revenue towards programs. Charities which operate below this value are not functioning as efficiently as possible. OCA has a modest budget, approximately $1,000,000 annually.
| 2005 Expenses | Percentage |

Famous quotes containing the words charity and/or efficiency:
“Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.”
—Bible: New Testament 1 Corinthians 8:1-2.
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
