This record may have an IRS status problem. Do not give until you verify it.

Here is the honest answer: A tax form shows money and paperwork. It cannot prove that people, animals, or the community were truly helped.

Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $48,448 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
