*In 2008, by using funds raised in previous years, we intentionally spent more on international programs than we received in revenue. As shown in the financial statements, this resulted in expenditures exceeding revenue. The associated pie chart does not reflect that additional program spending. If the chart included all program spending, it would instead show that 83.6% of 2008 revenue was spent on programs.
