The CARE Exchange strongly suggests that people interested in participating in or donating to charity events review the BBB Wise Giving Alliance revised Standards for Charitable Accountability.  This includes the guideline for charities to spend at least 65% of revenue on program expenses and no more than 35% on fundraising and its administration.  BBB Wise Giving Alliance is one of the main US watchdog for charities - a merger of the National Charities Information Bureau and the Council of Better Business Bureaus' Foundation and its Philanthropic Advisory Service.  It offers guidance to donors on making informed giving decisions.

@ Other Revenue primarily includes money raised from Rider and Crew Registration Fees, sponsorship, Tanqueray naming rights for the AIDSRides and merchandise revenue. 

* PTW "Donor Dollar Return"
This figure is determined by using 100% of "Other Revenue" to offset Total Expenses and thereby tends to exaggerate the success of an event.  It tells us how much of each donor's dollar ended back with the charities, rather than the percentage of total revenue raised going back to the charities.  It cannot provide an accurate indication of the exact % of all money raised to cover expenses. 
The figure is calculated as:

100% less  

(Total Expenses - Other Revenue) x 100

  Pledge Revenue

True Percentage Return to Charities
This is the more traditionally accepted percentage figure organizations provide to explain return to charity against fundraising and administration costs of the event. It is the figure used by government bodies and funding institutions to determine percentages of return.  The figure is calculated as Net Dollars to Charity divided by Total Revenue:
 
(Total Revenue - Total Expenses) x 100
Total Revenue

&& Percentage of Total Revenue to Pay Expenses.  This figure was not outlined in Pallotta TeamWork's summary.  It equals Total Expenses divided by Total Revenue.  

# All Vaccine Rides Figures.  Although there were three separate Vaccine Rides in 2001 (Montana, Alaska & Canada-US), Pallotta TeamWorks have not provided separate accounting for each event in their Record of Impact.  As such, we are unable to analyse the events separately.  News - March 12, 2002: Vaccine Ride Beneficiary pulls out of 2002 events
