BC Cancer Foundation Five-Year Financial Summary
For years ended March 31, 2004 - 2008 (in thousands of dollars)

In fiscal 2008, BC Cancer Foundation's expenses were 13% of revenue. For the past five fiscal years our expenses have averaged 16% of revenue.

It is very important to us to be as cost-efficient as possible, and we work hard to keep our expenses as low as possible and below our goal of 20%. All of our fund-raising expenses, including marketing costs, are included in this figure.
