KEEPING OUR COSTS LOW
In 2015-2016, TMCSF’s administrative costs were less than 7% of revenues. Here are some examples of how we keep our costs low:
- Companies such as SasCloud Systems Ltd. and many others generously donate office equipment, internet, website maintenance, software and database maintenance;
- Office supplies such as paper and envelopes are regularly donated to our office;
- We use email and electronic filing to avoid printing whenever possible;
- Graphics, website development and media outreach are created and managed in-house, either by staff or volunteers;
- We do not buy donor lists, pay for donor software, or use paid advertising;
- We are committed to local-purchasing in Uganda;
- Much of the furniture in the Kampala office is donated; and
- All staff are committed to minimizing expenses at all times.
