Before you give

Should I give to this charity?

Easy charity check
Look at where the money went

Of every $100 spent, about $68.00 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.

What leaders were paid

Reported for tax year 2025

These compensation amounts were reported by the charity on its Form 990. They are already included within the charity’s reported expenses—not extra amounts to add to the spending totals below.

Person and titleReported compensation
HEATHER NOOTBAARCO-FOUNDWE · 31 hrs/week $65,143
RACHEL HAMEWCO-FOUNDER · 15 hrs/week $19,780
KAYLA FRATTCO-FOUNDER · 15 hrs/week $18,180

Compensation alone does not tell whether pay is reasonable. Compare it with the charity’s size, work, location, and documented results.

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.

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.

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.

Tax year 2025

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.

Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.

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.
