What they do
AS A TRUSTED and CONNECTED PARTNER, WE INSPIRE GENEROUS PEOPLE to INVEST IN A MORE EQUITABLE and VIBRANT REGION NOW and for GENERATIONS to COME.
Are they doing good?
The public paperwork has several good signs. Now check whether the charity can show who it helped.
Here is the honest answer: A tax form shows money and paperwork. It cannot prove that people, animals, or the community were truly helped.

You can reach themThey list contact information, so you can ask questions.
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 $16,855,549 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $636,782 for MATTHEW RANDAZZO (CEO & PRESIDENT). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
Bottom line: Good paperwork is a good sign—not proof. The best answer comes when the charity can show what it changed, who it 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.
Money in and money out
Selected spending reported on the 990
Each amount is compared with total expenses separately. These categories can overlap, so they should not be added together as a pie chart.

People reported as paid
