Administrative Fees
Donors will be interested to know that 96 percent of their gift will be used for charitable purposes as designated. Fundraising costs such as salaries, office operations, and appeals are paid for by the MiraCosta Community College District.
To cover the cost of business operations, such as the acceptance and acknowledgment of charitable gifts and the management of donor funds, the foundation charges a 4 percent transaction fee (assessed only on expenditures) and a 1.5 percent endowment management fee. The purpose of these fees is to establish a revenue stream that will eventually allow the foundation to be self-sustaining in its business operations. Here is a list of the services we provide:
