Should I give to this charity?

Money made simple

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $51,600 for CAMILLE NTOTO (FIELD DIRECTOR). 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.
