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 $2,386,707 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $245,291 for CHARLES BARONE (VICE PRESIDENT, POLICY). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
