How Your Donations Are Spent
 Funds donated to the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer are managed and disbursed by the Avon Foundation, an accredited 501(c)(3) public charity with funds awarded for breast cancer awareness and education; screening and diagnosis; treatment; support services; and scientific research. Beneficiaries range from leading cancer centers to community–based non–profit breast health programs in the vicinities of each Avon Walk event and nationwide.
How much money actually goes to the cause? Total Avon Foundation revenue in 2006 was $69.9 million. Expenditures, including grants for breast cancer, domestic violence and other programs, exceeded $73.7 million. Of total expenditures for the year:
- 79.5% was directed to mission programs and services, including grants, gifts and awards to beneficiary organizations
(this is what is commonly referred to as “net return” to the cause)
- 3% covered management and general activities
- 17.5% covered fundraising expenses
These results exceed philanthropic fundraising guidelines.
