Before you give

Should I give to this charity?

Easy charity check
Look at where the money went

Of every $100 spent, about $72.40 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.

What leaders were paid

Reported for tax year 2024

These compensation amounts were reported by the charity on its Form 990. They are already included within the charity’s reported expenses—not extra amounts to add to the spending totals below.

Person and titleReported compensation
MICHELE ENGELBACHCEO · 18 hrs/week $157,653Base $150,362 · Other $7,291
DARCY BUSSARDCONTROLLER · 15 hrs/week $97,712
KATIE WILSONCONTROLLER - PART YEAR · 15 hrs/week $26,527

Compensation alone does not tell whether pay is reasonable. Compare it with the charity’s size, work, location, and documented results.

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.

Money made simple

Why can this be over 100%?The charity reported $2,586,729 in revenue and $2,684,476 in total expenses. It spent $97,747 more than it received that year, so a spending category can exceed 100% of that year’s revenue.These percentages use the charity’s reported Form 990 amounts—not an estimate or a website calculation error. The filing alone does not explain how the gap was covered.

Ask these three easy questions

  1. Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
  2. What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
  3. Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.

Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $97,747 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.
