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.

Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $3,793,615 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $632,776 for CATHARINE L GAUL-STIGGE (PRESIDENT & CEO). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
