Money made simple

$78.60of every $100 spent was reported for mission workThe IRS calls this “program services.”
$0.20of every $100 spent was reported for fundraisingMoney spent asking for more donations.
$100.62spent for every $100 of revenueSpending was higher than revenue this year.
$21.20of every $100 spent was reported for management and office costsThis number alone does not tell us how much good they did.
$0.90in assets for every $1 spent this yearSome assets cannot be spent right away.
0.2%of its money came from giftsOther money may come from services or investments.

Ask these three easy questions

  1. Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
  2. What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
  3. Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.

Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $286,088 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $746,327 for CHAD DOUGLAS (PRESIDENT, CEO). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.

Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
