Easy charity check

Look at where the money went

Of every $100 spent, about $73.30 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.

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 $489,610 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $337,859 for JEREMY ROBBINS (EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.

How each $100 of revenue was used

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.
