What they do
BAKERY EQUIPMENT ASSESSMENT GROUP, FORMERLY KNOWN AS BAKING INDUSTRY SANITATION STANDARDS COMMITTEE WAS FORMED IN 1949 to DEVELOP and PUBLISH VOLUNTARY STANDARDS for THE DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION of BAKERY EQUIPMENT WHICH TODAY ARE RECOGNIZED AS THE DEFINITIVE SANITATION STANDARDS for EQUIPMENT USED IN THE BAKING INDUSTRY. IN 2025, THERE WERE 27 AUTHORIZED MANUFACTURERS WHO QUALIFIED for CERTIFICATION. IN ADDITION, THE BEAG OFFICE of CERTIFICATION WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1966 to PROMOTE GREATER RECOGNITION and USE of EQUIPMENT CONFORMING to THE CRITERIA of BEAG STANDARDS. THE OFFICE of CERTIFICATION OFFERS TWO EQUIPMENT CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS to MANUFACTURERS WHO CAN WARRANT THAT EQUIPMENT CONFORMS to THE CRITERIA of THE ANSI/ASB/Z50.2-2013 SANITATION STANDARD for THE DESIGN of BAKERY EQUIPMENT CAN DISPLAY THE BEAG CERTIFIED SYMBOL ON THE EQUIPMENT. THIRD-PARTY VERIFICATION - MANUFACTURERS ALREADY REGISTERED and CERTIFIED WITH BEAG WHO SUCCESSFULLY PASS A THIRD-PARTY INSPECTION BY A BEAG-APPO
Should I give to this charity?
Of every $100 spent, about $91.80 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.
Plain answer: A tax form cannot prove that a charity is doing good. It can show how the charity says it spent its money—and point out questions you should ask.

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 $131,141 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was 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.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
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.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
