Description

Based on its 2023 tax return, we calculate that Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund spent 66.9 percent of its $7.2 million budget on programs and 30.1 percent on overhead. This is higher than our recommended 25 percent maximum overhead spending.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund used joint cost accounting for 40.3 percent of its annual budget. While legal, this accounting method can 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 the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. See our lists of Highly Recommended Charities and Recommended Charities for alternatives.
