Tax year 2023

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.

How each $100 of revenue was used

The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.

Total reported revenue$541,845
Mission workProgram services$405,32074.80% of revenue65.7% of expenses
ManagementOffice and general costs$211,79739.09% of revenue34.3% of expenses
FundraisingAsking for donations0.00% of revenue0.0% of expenses
Total expenses$617,117113.89% of revenue

Expenses were greater than revenue, so the colored ring fills the available $100 and the total above 100% is shown below.

Has the pattern changed?

Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
