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:
“With a smile of Christian charity great Casey’s visage shone;
He stilled the rising tumult, he made the game go on;”
—Ernest Lawrence Thayer (1863–1940)
“Nothing comes to pass in nature, which can be set down to a flaw therein; for nature is always the same and everywhere one and the same in her efficiency and power of action; that is, nature’s laws and ordinances whereby all things come to pass and change from one form to another, are everywhere and always; so that there should be one and the same method of understanding the nature of all things whatsoever, namely, through nature’s universal laws and rules.”
—Baruch (Benedict)
