What they do
Plutonomy Program:As IFG Intensifies Its "inside" Work to Change Institutions, We Will Also Support "outside" Efforts to Build The Power of Peoples Movements. Increasingly, A Few, Ultra Wealthy Plutocrats Have Lately Made Enormous Strides Toward Dominating Global Governance, Finance and National Democracies [now Known As "the 1% Vs. The 99%"], While Actively Undermining Traditional Democratic Expressions. These Include Such Concerns As Collective Bargaining Rights, Clean Air Protections, Social Services and Safety Nets. The Wealth of These Individuals is So Great That We Are Beginning to See A Kind of Global Neo-feudalism Evolving, Where They Themselves Become The Pivotal Arbiters and Factors Shaping Economies, Politics, Media, and Many Other Elements of Once Democratic Systems. The Laws and Regulations That Have Permitted Such Wealth Concentration Have Themselves Been Shaped By The Very Special Interests That Benefit The Most, While The Public Treasury is Almost Ignored.

Should I give to this charity?
This record may have an IRS status problem. Do not give until you verify it.
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.
Basic facts we verified

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 $3,275 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
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.
Expenses were greater than revenue, so the colored ring fills the available $100 and the total above 100% is shown below.
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.
Money in and money out
