What they do
MAKING A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN OUR NEIGHBORS LIVES BY SERVING MEMBERS WITH FINANCIAL PRODUCTS and SUPERIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE to HELP THEM ACHIEVE THEIR FINANCIAL GOALS.
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 $224,168 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $531,412 for BRUCE A ALTHEIDE (CHIEF WEALTH OFFICER). 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.
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.
Money in and money out
Selected spending reported on the 990
Each amount is compared with total expenses separately. These categories can overlap, so they should not be added together as a pie chart.

People reported as paid
