Money made simple

Financial picture
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.
Where each $100 of expenses went
The first percentage is the spending mix. The second compares that amount with the charity’s revenue.
Pause before giving. This filing reports that 0.0% of spending went to fundraising and 18.8% went to mission work. Ask the charity to explain these numbers and show recent results.
Has the pattern changed?
