Easy charity check

The spending raises an important question

Of every $100 spent, about $7.60 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.

What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.

Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $52,724 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $13,368 for DONNA JOHNSON (SECRETARY). 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.
