Placement performance is subjective, but requires that the organization continue to maximize the number of successful placements each year. The organization presently has 424 Sentinels who have been placed since the inception of the program in 2007. The organization benchmarks its financial measurements to the guide of the American Institute of Philanthropy (AIP). Their target is 60% or more spent on program services. AIP's target for fundraising effectiveness is that fundraising expenses account for $35 or less for every $100 raised.
