Money made simple

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $15,000 for CARLA RICHARDSON (EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & FOUNDER). 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.
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.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
The uncolored part of the ring is revenue above these reported expenses.
