Foundation Expenses and Compensation

"The new report examines the impact of a broader range of operating characteristics on the spending patterns of independent foundations -- such as staff size, scope of giving, foundation age, the involvement of family members, whether the foundation is endowed, and whether it awards grants to individuals. The report also expands the analysis of expense patterns to corporate and community foundations, provides a first look at the composition of expenses of the three types of foundations, and offers new benchmarking tables that will enable staffed and unstaffed foundations to compare their expenses and compensation levels with foundations of similar size and type."
