Tax year 2024

A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.

How each $100 of revenue was used

The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.

Total reported revenue$504,355
Mission workProgram services$317,71862.99% of revenue60.0% of expenses
ManagementOffice and general costs$105,91021.00% of revenue20.0% of expenses
FundraisingAsking for donations$105,90121.00% of revenue20.0% of expenses
Total expenses$529,529104.99% of revenue

Expenses were greater than revenue, so the colored ring fills the available $100 and the total above 100% is shown below.

Has the pattern changed?

Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
