What they do
Over The Past Year or So, Weve Seen A Continued Transition to More Reliance On Use of Our Donor Funds to Keep Significant Numbers of Enhanced Habitat Acres Out On The Landscape As The State Investments Continued to Trend Lower With Lessening Reduced Overall Concerns Over Drought Conditions In California. With The Support of All Our Many Donors We Have Kept The Habitat Pipeline Flowing and Even Forged New Ground By Continuing Our Pilot Testing of New Innovative Approaches to Nesting Habitat. We Also Continued to Assist Our Partner Organizations In Deploying Their Funding to Projects Helping Birds The Sacramento Valley. Our Bid4Birds Web-based Platform Continues At The One-stop Shop for Our Partners to Communicate About Funded Programs and Gather Digital Applications From Rice Growers Who Are Interested In Participating. We Accomplish This Through Implementation of Several Ongoing Projects.Bid4Birds Habitat Program: This Innovative Habitat Enhancement Program Focuses On Creating Critical

Money made simple

- 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.
