The spending raises an important question

Of every $100 spent, about $1.10 was reported for mission work and $0.00 for fundraising. Understand this before you give.

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.

Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
