Financial picture

Tax year 2024

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.

Total reported revenue$536,840
Mission workProgram services$244,93845.63% of revenue85.3% of expenses
ManagementOffice and general costs$42,3307.89% of revenue14.7% of expenses

Revenue left after expensesReported annual surplus$249,57246.49% of revenueShown in gray on the chart
Total expenses$287,26853.51% of revenue

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.
