Red Cross: 91 Cents of Every Dollar Goes to Relief Efforts

EXCERPT:

DEFRANCIS: "So we give 91 cents of every dollar that we spend goes to our relief efforts. So, if you give $1 to Harvey, 90 cents of that will go to our relief efforts; 10 cents of it will go to what we call management general and fund-raising or people call it overhead. But what we do is we put the money that comes into Harvey into a separate account so you know it's going to go to Harvey and then 91 cents of all that goes out to the relief effort. And that can be the cots and the blankets and the meals and the water but it can also be moving the volunteers there."
JACKSON: "Right."
DEFRANCIS: "Putting the gas in the vehicles. Everything it takes the costs of delivering that aid."
