In 1987, administration and campaign costs totaled 13.8% of the total raised, compared to 11.3% last year. The United Way has four staff and an army of 1,000 volunâ€" teers. "An important element of fundraising is the efficiency, which includes administration plus camâ€" paign expenses," continued Gould. "Oakville United Way is a leader in this area. In fact, our percentage is said to be the best in North America." Speaking to corporate execuâ€" tives, ‘Gould gave a brief overview of the Oakville United Way fundraising, noting last year‘s camâ€" paign total of $1.638 million repreâ€" sented an 8.6% increase over 1991, with employee and corporate givâ€" ing accounting for 72% of that total.
