When you donate to Books for Development, 100% of your contribution goes towards making a tangible impact on promoting literacy and education. As an all-volunteer organization, we strive to ensure that the majority of our resources are allocated towards our service delivery & keep our overhead costs to a minimum. Here's a breakdown of how your donation is used:
Service Delivery: Cash donations are primarily directed towards our service delivery initiatives including the transportation and shipment of books to various developing countries. To send approximately 35,000-40,000 books to Northwest Uganda costs us around $12,000.
Overhead Costs: Our overhead costs are kept to a minimum. We have limited expenses, which mainly include warehouse rent, utilities, and boxes for book shipments. By operating efficiently and relying on volunteer efforts, we ensure that your donation has a direct impact on our programs.
