Of every $100 spent, about $67.40 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.

What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.

Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $565,266 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
