Sabre's supporters have been consistently impressed over the years by two measures important to donors:
- Cost-effectiveness - Sabre's lean staffing and no-frills operation mean that donations go into substantive programs and not administration.
- Program Scope and Focus - each 20-ft container-load shipped has a fair market value of from $250,000 to $500,000, depending on the kind of books; a 40-ft container holds approximately 12,000 to 16,000 tertiary level books. This translates into Sabre being able to supply higher education and medical books at a cost of between $1 and $2 per book. This figure includes pro-rated book procurement, shipment preparation and freight costs. In 2004 the average value of a new book shipped by Sabre was more than $34.
