ALMOST NO OVERHEAD COSTS

Maximizing Impact,
Minimizing Costs

Almost all overhead costs are taken care of by Miyamoto International. Miyamoto International also provides engineering expertise at non-profit, or at no cost at all to our relief projects. This enables Miyamoto Relief to reach those most in need. Traditional nonprofits struggle with high overhead costs with fewer funds available for the communities they serve.

Nearly all donations are used for programmatic work, not overhead.
Ensures minimal overhead by covering most expenses.
Our unique model allows more resources to reach those in dire need.
