During 2011, the Army spent $3.23 billion serving people, down from $3.24 billion the prior year. Eighty-two cents of every dollar spent, or $2.65 billion, went toward program services; the remainder was accounted for by management and general expenses of $380 million and by fundraising costs of $196 million. Approximately 74% of these expenditures were funded by public and other operating support received during the year, with the remaining funding provided by the release of net assets that Hope and a Future 11 were previously donor-restricted or board-designated for long-term projects.
