IN ADDITION to THE VARIOUS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, IT RAISES FUNDS for LEGAL NONPROFITS THAT ASSIST THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.

Are they doing good?
The public paperwork has several good signs. Now check whether the charity can show who it helped.
Here is the honest answer: A tax form shows money and paperwork. It cannot prove that people, animals, or the community were truly helped.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- 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 $242,982 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $151,047 for JODY E IORNS (EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
Bottom line: Good paperwork is a good sign—not proof. The best answer comes when the charity can show what it changed, who it helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
