IF THEY HAD TO PAY FOR THE 16,371 HOURS OF SERVICES THE VOLUNTEERS PROVIDE, IT WOULD HAVE COST THE ORGANIZATION OVER 520,000; THIS IS BASED ON THE RATE REPORTED BY INDEPENDENT SECTOR.

HOWEVER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE, THAT THE TRUE AMOUNT THE ORGANIZATION ALLOCATES TO ITS PROGRAMS IS MUCH HIGHER THAN IS REPRESENTED ON THE STATEMENT OF FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES.
