What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.

Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $156,025 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $445,833 for PATTI PHILLIPS (CEO). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
