Of every $100 spent, about $63.90 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.

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 $2,192,560 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $441,477 for REBECCA SKINNER (HEAD OF SCHOOL). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.

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.
