If I got this sort of request from a funder in the UK they would be more likely to want an answer which gave details of what the staff they pay for actually deliver e.g.

Providing X sessions a year for local schools
Opening the museum on x no of days resulting in y number of visits 
Maintaining historic objects/archives from the town for the benefit of future residents.

Hello,

I'm writing a funding request to our city and they have asked us to
breakdown where the money is going - ie. what services they are "buying." We
use all their money for staffing, which is about 70% of our budget.

While I know that the largest part of any non-profits budget is staff, I
can't remember what the specific figure is that I've seen sited. Does anyone
know?

Barring that, can you tell me what percent of your annual budget is spent on
paying staff?

Thanks!
Erica
