Where the Money Goes
Of the $1,476,711 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $1,257,674 (85%) — went to operating costs and overhead.
Why this number?
Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.
Show formula
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
Operating spending: $1,257,674 ÷ Total spent: $1,476,711
