What they do
THE FOUNDATIONS PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE is to WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FEDERATION for CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS to EDUCATE PARENTS ON HOW to ADVOCATE for THEMSELVES and THEIR CHILDREN. TRAINING PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN CREATED, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE FEDERATION, for BOTH PARENTS and HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS to INFORM THEM of THE IMPACT of PUBLIC POLICY and to MAKE THEM AWARE of PROGRAMS AVAILABLE for THESE FAMILIES. THE EXPECTATION is THAT IF BOTH PARENTS and HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS ARE AWARE of SUCH POLICIES and PROGRAMS, THEY CAN USE THAT KNOWLEDGE to PROVIDE THE BEST POSSIBLE CARE PLAN for CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.

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 $34,357 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
