Where the Money Goes

Of the $137,138 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $63,163 (46%) — 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: $63,163 ÷ Total spent: $137,138
