Before you give

Should I give to this charity?

Easy charity check

We do not have enough spending detail

Basic public information is available, but it is not enough to judge how well donations are used. Ask the charity for a current spending breakdown and results.

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.

Basic facts we verified

Money made simple

$102.22spent for every $100 of revenueSpending was higher than revenue this year.

$0.76in assets for every $1 spent this yearSome assets cannot be spent right away.

9.7%of its money came from giftsOther money may come from services or investments.

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 $56,396 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $321,808 for MICHAEL RALSTON (PRESIDENT (THRU 12/2024)). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.

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.
