AMVETS National Service Foundation

Based on its 2022 tax return, AMVETS National Service Foundation spent 28.7 % percent of its $18.8 million budget on overhead. This is higher than our recommended 25 percent maximum overhead spending.

Furthermore, we calculate AMVETS National Service Foundation used joint cost accounting for 10.3 percent of its $18.8 million budget. While legal, this accounting method can be used to disguise overhead costs as program spending. We recommend that no more than 5 percent of a budget be allocated to joint cost accounting.

We do not recommend giving to AMVETS National Service Foundation. See our lists of Highly Recommended Charities and Recommended Charities for alternatives.
