What they do
IN THE CURRENT YEAR, VOLUNTEERS SPENT THOUSANDS of HOURS WORKING WITH SEWGREEN. SEWGREEN WORKED WITH HUNDREDS of MEMBERS of THE COMMUNITY IN CLASSES, CAMPS and OTHER PROGRAMS. PROGRAMS INCLUDE: TEACHER LEAD CLASS OFFERINGS, FREE WORKSHOPS and OPEN SEWING OPPORTUNITIES for THE COMMUNITY to CREATE NEW ITEMS FROM RESCUED FABRIC, SEWING and NEEDLEWORK SUPPLIES INCLUDING CLOTHING, ACCESSORIES, ARTWORK, and OTHER USEFUL and CREATIVE OBJECTS. THROUGH THE RESCUE and REUSE of FABRIC, SEWING MACHINES, and ALL KINDS of SEWING, and NEEDLEWORK MATERIALS , WEVE EXTENDED THE USEFULNESS of THESE SUPPLIES and KEPT THEM OUT of LANDFILLS. LOCAL RESCUE and REUSE CONSUMES NO ENERGY for MANUFACTURING and VERY LITTLE for TRANSPORTATION, REDUCING OVERALL GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.
Should I give to this charity?

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.
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.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
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
