Are they doing good?

Easy charity check
Good signs so far

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.

Money made simple

$70.69spent for every $100 of revenueRevenue covered expenses this year.
$14.70of every $100 spent went to management and office costsThis number alone does not tell us how much good they did.
$8.78in assets for every $1 spent this yearSome assets cannot be spent right away.
74.4%of its money came from giftsOther money may come from services or investments.

Ask these three easy questions

  1. Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
  2. What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
  3. Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $138,657 for JESSICA ANDORS (EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR). 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.
