Should I give to this charity?

Easy charity check

Look at where the money went

Of every $100 spent, about $88.60 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.

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.

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

Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $183,366 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $241,710 for DIANA NOEL (CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
