*Notes:

Applewood:  "Agency believes costs will decline w/movement of administrative functions to Wingspan.  Excluding Fundraising & developing activities Admin Overhead reduces to 11.78%"

Beech Brook:  "While they are able to spread cost it is getting difficult to maintain at this level."

Bellefaire/JCB:  "Agency believes costs will decline w/movement of administrative functions to Wingspan"

Bridgeway:  "Indicates high due to 2.4% spreading of maintenance costs.  If factoring out facility maintenance would place it 17-19%."

CFC:  "Agency believes costs are at 13%"

Connections:  "Agency believes costs are at 13% but has not provided documentation to support this.

Eldercare:  "Unique structure with Eldercare given the patients that it services.  Consumers are in-Home and immobile thereby increasing overhead cost related to consumers that are serviced."

EDEN:  "Agency revised overhead to reflect costs to CCMHB"

PEP:  "Agency advised may see modest growth w/closure of group homes."

Recovery Resources:  "Agency indicated that because of its high level of fundraising it is increasing their overhead."  (Not presented here are other comments about non-profit norms.)

Spectrum:  "Agency indicated that it is a small organization with high fixed costs.  Will begin to look at expenditures to reclassify from admin to direct and or non-support.  Currently working on this."
