How much of what I contribute goes to programs, and how much goes to overhead and administrative costs?

100% of any contribution you make to the Foundation will be designated for the Atrium Health program or facility you specify. The Foundation’s operating expenses are funded chiefly through annual support from Atrium Health, as well as an operational reserve fund held at the Foundation. Additionally, the Foundation’s charitable funds are assessed a modest administrative fee (currently 0.5% of the fund balance annually) to provide further operating expense support. This assessment is typically covered through investment income earned on the funds.
