From all its income, UNICEF spends less than 8¢ from each dollar on administration. Almost all of what is raised goes directly to helping those who need it most. In Canada, the Canadian UNICEF Committee, through its provincial organizations and volunteers, raised over $1.8 million last year through its record- breaking programs at Hallowe'en, the sale of Greet- ing Cards, and other projects.
