Should I give to this charity?

Easy charity check

The spending raises an important question

Of every $100 spent, about $6.70 was reported for mission work and $0.00 for fundraising. Understand this before you give.

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.
