What the 7.5% Fee Covers
InFocus's 7.5% administrative fee is not just a pass-through cost. It replaces multiple independent expenses that you would otherwise pay separately — bookkeeping, accounting software, insurance, IRS compliance, donor management, and more. The group structure allows us to spread costs across all partner ministries, making individual overhead far lower than operating alone.
