What they do
SERVICE ABOVE SELF. ROTARIANS ARE CONCERNED WITH PROMOTING HIGH ETHICAL STANDARDS IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL LIVES. ONE of THE WORLDS MOST WIDELY PRINTED and QUOTED STATEMENTS of BUSINESS ETHICS is THE FOUR-WAY TEST, WHICH WAS CREATED IN 1932 BY ROTARIAN HERBERT J. TAYLOR WHEN HE WAS ASKED to TAKE CHARGE of A COMPANY THAT WAS FACING BANKRUPTCY. THIS 24-WORD TEST for EMPLOYEES to FOLLOW IN THEIR BUSINESS and PROFESSIONAL LIVES BECAME THE GUIDE for SALES, PRODUCTION, ADVERTISING, and ALL RELATIONS WITH DEALERS and CUSTOMERS, and THE SURVIVAL of THE COMPANY is CREDITED to THIS SIMPLE PHILOSOPHY. ADOPTED BY ROTARY IN 1943, THE FOUR-WAY TEST HAS BEEN TRANSLATED INTO MORE THAN A HUNDRED LANGUAGES and PUBLISHED IN THOUSANDS of WAYS. IT ASKS THE FOLLOWING FOUR QUESTIONS of THE THINGS WE THINK, SAY or DO: is IT THE TRUTH? is IT FAIR to ALL CONCERNED? WILL IT BUILD GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? WILL IT BE BENEFICIAL to ALL CONCERNED?
Should I give to this charity?
Of every $100 spent, about $58.40 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.
Plain answer: A tax form cannot prove that a charity is doing good. It can show how the charity says it spent its money—and point out questions you should ask.

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 $2,832 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was 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.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
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.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
