SIGNIFICANT OPERATIONAL MEASURES NEXT HOLDS LARGE NATIONAL FUNDRAISING EVENTS, TYPICALLY EVERY TWO OR THREE YEARS. FUNDRAISING EXPENSES INCREASE DURING THE YEARS IN WHICH AN EVENT IS HELD BECAUSE OF THE INCREASED COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH SUPPORTING THE EVENT. HOWEVER, GRANTS THAT ARE PROVIDED FROM THE FUNDS RAISED THROUGH THE EVENTS, AND ARE CONSIDERED PROGRAM EXPENSES, ARE AWARDED BEGINNING AT LEAST SIX (6) MONTHS AFTER THE EVENT AND FUNDS MAY CONTINUE TO BE AWARDED FOR SEVERAL YEARS THEREAFTER. THE COMBINATION OF THESE FACTORS CAN RESULT IN DRAMATIC CHANGES IN THE PERCENTAGE OF PROGRAM EXPENSES TO TOTAL EXPENSES YEAR-TO-YEAR. IN YEARS WHEN A LARGE FUNDRAISING EVENT IS HELD, THE PERCENTAGE OF PROGRAM SERVICES TO TOTAL EXPENSES IS MUCH LOWER THAN IN YEARS WHEN AN EVENT IS NOT HELD. NEXT ANTICIPATES A SIMILAR TREND TO CONTINUE FOR AS LONG AS WE HOLD LARGE FUNDRAISING EVENTS.
