    APRIL–JUNE 2007 COURSE CATALOG NONPROFITS BUILD STRONG COMMUNITIES... WE BUILD STRONG NONPROFITS. THE BAYER CENTER FOR NONPROFIT MANAGEMENT AT ROBERT MORRIS UNIVERSITY A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The newspaper headline read, “Nonprofits Less Effective … Spending More on Overhead, Less on Mission.” And you could hear a collective shudder go through the populace and checkbooks snapping shut! Charity Navigator had spoken – Pittsburgh’s nonprofit organizations are less effective than those in 25 other cities. In using the 990 form for its analysis, Charity Navigator is passing judgment on the nation’s nonprofits – and urging donors to make giving decisions based on their formula. But is the 990 a true record of expenses in nonprofits? When the Bayer Center released its Wage and Benefit Survey in January, we hosted a session with Kennard Wing, a consultant who worked on a national project examining overhead costs of nonprofits. Ken’s groups looked at 228,000 990 forms to see how various groups in all stages of development, with all budget sizes and all types of causes, reported their use of dollars from all revenue sources. This well-respected study showed that in many cases, nonprofits showed little to no management and general or fundraising expenses at all. Those agencies must have looked particularly appealing to Charity Navigator! There is currently no standard for reporting nonprofit management and fundraising expenses. Individual groups and their auditors have to make their own decisions about how best to allocate their expenses. And for agencies that lack detailed time sheets, the true picture of overhead versus program/mission-related activities remains quite elusive.
