What they do
WE HAVE DEVELOPED A PROGRAM THAT ADDRESSES THE CURRENT JOBS/SKILLS MISMATCH, THE CAREER AWARENESS LEADERSHIP FORUM. THIS MULTI-SESSION MODEL ALLOWS LOCAL INDUSTRIES to COMMUNICATE and SHARE WITH SCHOOL LEADERS, STAFF, and STUDENTS ABOUT CURRENT and FUTURE JOB OPPORTUNITIES and THE SKILLS NEEDED to FULFILL THEM. IT INCLUDES AN ELEMENT for SCHOOLWIDE DISSEMINATION of INFORMATION.
Are they doing good?
The public paperwork has several good signs. Now check whether the charity can show who it helped.
Here is the honest answer: A tax form shows money and paperwork. It cannot prove that people, animals, or the community were truly helped.
Good signs we looked for

You can reach themThey list contact information, so you can ask questions.
Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $412,254 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $159,292 for ELAINE LIFTIN EDD (EXEC. DIR./P). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
Bottom line: Good paperwork is a good sign—not proof. The best answer comes when the charity can show what it changed, who it helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
Money in and money out
Selected spending reported on the 990
Each amount is compared with total expenses separately. These categories can overlap, so they should not be added together as a pie chart.

Leadership and board
Names, titles, time, and compensation below are reported by the organization on its Form 990.
People reported as paid
Compensation alone does not tell whether pay is reasonable. Consider the charity’s size, work, location, and results.
