    This is the link to the info. The IBSA is in the top 500 charities in the UK. I have posted details of 2 comparatively sized charities. They have nothing like the admin costs of the IBSA.

    Hey 29% administration costs? At least they got SOMETHING left over once they're done spending on administrative what-evers. Never mind that the other organizations are near 2%. They're not printing life-giving truth to save all mankind like the Watchtower is!!

    I had a question on the charts -- all 3 show an income of 11.8 million pounds in the upper right corner. Is that a coincidence, or a misprint?

    Maybe they are counting the same money? It is too much of a coincidence.

    Gopher its not a misprint. I just selected the 2 charities above and below the IBSA in the top 500.

    Ok -- glad it's not a misprint.... Then it sees how other corporations work with similar income figures!
