Easy charity check

Look at where the money went

Of every $100 spent, about $73.20 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.

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

Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $484,423 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
