The spending raises an important question

Of every $100 spent, about $15.70 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.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $68,750 for KARLA HART (EXECUTIVE DI). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
