“Indirect Expense Calculation: A calculation of United Way of Greater Portland's operating expense ratio according to the data included in Form 990, Part VIII, Statement of Revenue and Form 990, Part IX, Statement of Functional Expenses, includes expenses associated with soliciting, collecting, and distributing over $5.8 million in out-of-area pledges in 2018. Revenues associated with these pledges are excluded from the Statement of Revenue, as United Way Worldwide standards dictate that such pledges represent revenue to the United Way in which the donor works. Similarly, dollars raised on behalf of 211 Maine are excluded from the Statement of Revenue, as 211 Maine issues its own Form 990, but some costs incurred in soliciting those dollars are included in the Statement of Functional Expenses. The below calculation, which includes all funds processed by the United Way of Greater Portland, better represents the Organization's operational efficiency, and is included in the Organization's audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2018: Supporting Services: 2018 2017 Fundraising 1,157,055 1,136,253 Management & General 760,158 668,964 Total Supporting Services 1,917,213 1,805,217 Revenue: 2018 2017 Sources Listed Above 11,228,363 9,620,824 Out-of-Area Pledges 5,783,777 5,612,118 211 Maine Revenue 874,235 786,671 Total Sources 17,886,375 16,019,613 Operating Expense Ratio 10.8% 11.3%”
