Great Blog, gonna vote for it! Former Bishop and SP member. The HA fund is counted in the following manner by the lds org. Time, donation by the members in kind (if the member is donating something for the kid the church takes the benefit of the donation), a administration amount is added depending on the effort, shipping cost paid by the LDS church is also included. In other words, if a RS organization makes hygeine kits and donates them, then entire cost of the kit and labor is donated by the RS group, but counted in the actual dollar value of the donation.
The agreement is that the church will pay the shipping, and the unit will cover the cost of the kit and labor but the church counts the dollar value of both.
More number crunching…25 years of HA service by the church 1.2 Billion (their numbers including free labor and materials)

The big shopping mall in SLC somewhere in the $3-5 Billion range.
Sad, shameful, and twisting the numbers to their advantage.
And we all keep paying more and more and more and more and more
