COLLISION REPAIR EDUCATION FOUNDATION CELEBRATES 2012 GIVING RATIO • NINETY-ONE CENTS OF EVERY DOLLAR DONATED WENT TOWARDS SUPPORTING COLLISION SCHOOL PROGARMS, STUDENTS, AND INSTRUCTORS

Hoffman Estates, IL – March 28, 2013 – As a follow-up to the organization’s recent announcement that over $4.9 million in support was provided to secondary and post-secondary collision school programs in 2012, the Collision Repair Education Foundation is proud to inform the inter-industry that ninety-one cents of every dollar donated went towards assisting the future professionals of the industry. Charity Navigator, America’s leading independent charity evaluator, advises that “the most efficient charities spend 75% or more of their budget on their programs and services and less than 25% on fundraising and administrative fees.” The Collision Repair Education Foundation having a 91-9% giving ratio displays its’ commitment to the industry’s future, while staying lean in its’ operational expenses.

Collision Repair Education Foundation Director of Development Brandon Eckenrode noted, “It is important for charities to be accountable and transparent to their donors. We are grateful to our 175 donors in 2012 for their record breaking $4.9 million in giving, and it is our responsibility as a not-for-profit organization to ensure that the industry’s support reaches those in the most need. On behalf of the organization’s staff and Board of Trustees, we thank our supporters and look forward to making 2013 a year to remember.”
