# Cost reporting
Below cost report outlines a comparison between the cost efficiencies of DIVA Donate’s blockchain-based, parametric, conditional donation model and traditional donation models, using the pilot campaign with Mercy Corps Ventures (MCV) as a representative example.
In traditional models, operational costs typically absorb [10-35%](https://www.givedirectly.org/financials/) of the donated funds. DIVA Donate's model reduces operational expenses to just 2.5% of the total distributed funds, representing a **75% reduction compared to a 10% baseline**.
A major component of the costs involved during the MCV pilot campaign included FX and exchange costs totaling $219.48, which were incurred during the conversion of USDT to KES. These fees could be potentially eliminated with the introduction of an official cryptocurrency version of the KES. Additionally, fees withheld by DIVA Protocol ($60.7) were reinvested into the subsequent (third) campaign by the appointed DIVA Protocol owner.
