MCC's Administrative Costs (overhead)

* Up to 10 percent of your donation to MCC’s Haiti Earthquake response may be used for communications, fundraising and administration expenses. The percentage depends on the amount of money raised and the costs involved. In any case, it will not be more than 10 percent and could be considerably less.

* MCC’s overhead normally ranges between 15 and 20 percent.

Aboriginal Neighbours

MCC's Aboriginal Neighbours program works to repair the broken relationships between broader Canadian society and Aboriginal peoples. MCC pursues this goal as partners in God's work of reconciliation in three ways:

Dialogue

Activities that promote respectful understanding across cultures. This includes the production of educational materials, learning exchanges, and longer–term placements of non-Aboriginal people in First Nation settings.

Advocacy

MCC attempts to stand with Aboriginal peoples who are marginalized by governments or corporations. It does so through direct advocacy when invited and by participation in the interchurch KAIROS: Aboriginal Rights Committee.

Community Building Support

MCC assists some Aboriginal communities in the preparation of community economic development plans and places volunteers in community development projects. MCC is also a partner in the administration of the Jubilee Fund which issues grants for education and other projects.
