On Friday, September 6, at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET, listen to the three co-signers of the Overhead Myth letter – Art Taylor, President and CEO of BBB Wise Giving Alliance; Jacob Harold, President and CEO of Guidestar; and Ken Berger, President and CEO of Charity Navigator – discuss their letter to the donors of America on Nonprofit Radio with host Tony Martignetti. The general theme of the letter is captured by the following excerpt:

The percent of charity expenses that go to administrative and fundraising costs—commonly referred to as “overhead”—is a poor measure of a charity’s performance.

Tony and I will follow-up with discussion on examples of what might constitute "good" and "bad" overhead. Listen live here or catch it on iTunes in a few days.
