Of every $100 spent, about $92.80 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.

Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $56,937 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

How each $100 of revenue was used

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.
