Should I give to this charity?

Easy charity check

Look at where the money went

Of every $100 spent, about $76.00 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.

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.
