How does CIVIC raise funds?
CIVIC maintains a diverse funding stream. We rely on private foundations and
generous individuals just like you to support our work. In fact, we
currently raise about 40% of our funds from individuals.
How does CIVIC spend money?
CIVIC accomplishes big things on a small budget. On a
budget of $470K we were able to accomplish great things. We stretch
each dollar of our budget as far as we can to ensure we can help those
who rely on our efforts.

Does CIVIC give money directly to war victims on the ground?
CIVIC is not a direct aid organization, but rather an
advocacy organization. We advocate for smart, compassionate policies
from lawmakers and warring parties around the world. By doing this we
are able to amplify our small budget many times over. For example,
since our beginning in 2005, CIVIC has spent less than $1.5 million on
program costs, but we've helped secure more than $141 million from the
US government to directly aid war victims.
Additionally, for every $1 we spent as an organization in
2010, we successfully advocated for $125 more for US government programs for
war victims in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan.

What percentage of your funds go to administration, to fundraising and to programmatic costs?
We were able to keep administrative and fundraising
costs to a minimum at 2% and 6% respectively. That's pretty amazing for
a small organization![click here to read our 2010 annual report]
