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 $35,624 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $155,972 for ROBIN D JOHNSON (INTERIM CEO AND CFO). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
