HOW NONPROFITS SPEND YOUR MONEY
    
Most of us have an investment in our local nonprofits, either through our direct donations or indirectly through the United Way, foundations and government funding.  If you find yourself curious on how nonprofits spend their money, the e-cimpact online application system for the City of Tempe provides information to help answer your questions.
Overview 
 
The chart below illustrates how 35 nonprofit agencies funded by the City of Tempe budgeted to spend their money in four major categories during the past three years;  2006 through 2009.  The total of those budgets amounted to $259 million in fiscal year 2008-2009.
 
The chart demonstrates that the proportions in these four categories remained fairly stable over the three year period:  about 51% for Salaries / Benefits, 21% for Operating Expenses, 18% for Other Expenses and about 10% for In-Kind.

Where the Money Comes From
 
The table below summarizes the FY 2008-2009 revenue sources for City of Tempe funded human service nonprofits in four broad categories.

Operating Expenses for Programs  
 
The chart below explains how the approximate 20% of Operating Expenses breaks down into several detailed categories.  Occupancy (rent, utilities, building and grounds) is the largest category, at almost 9%. Specific Assistance for Individuals, Professional Fees and Contracts and Supplies / Equipment / Rental Maintenance are the second largest segment, at over 9%, a reflection that many nonprofits often staff up with temporary or periodic personnel in keeping with the needs of their diverse types of services.

Program Expenses
 
A look at the budgets of human services programs funded by Tempe shows a somewhat similar picture.  This chart highlights the percentages for programs by the same four categories as reported earlier for agency budgets.
 
Where the agencies were about 51% Salaries / Benefits, 21% for Operating, 18% for Other Expenses and 10% for In-Kind, the program budgets are 48% Salaries / Benefits, 21% Operating, 7% for Other Expense and 24% for In-Kind.

Leverage for City of Tempe Funding
 
In 2008-2009 City of Tempe funds accounted for about $1.1 million in proportion to the overall funding for the programs operating to help Tempeans in need.  What is evident is the capacity the City is supporting in terms of staff, experience and resources that are applied to those in need in Tempe.
