Money made simple

- 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.
Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $41,218 for ANDREW COAMEY (SECRETARY). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
