This is interesting information. Thank-you.
AKFC is top tier in terms of efficiency based on this data, however, there is more context that is quite critical in understanding the numbers. That context is that the Aga Khan himself regularly funds AKF for administrative costs, new initiatives, and even to further develop the endowment. That means that he takes care of that 3% and then some. Bottom line for donors is that absolutely 100% of what they donate, be it via the Partnership Walk, Partnership Golf, or other avenues, goes towards projects.
