Before you give

Should I give to this charity?

Easy charity check
The spending raises an important question

Of every $100 spent, about $7.40 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.

Money made simple

6.22%of revenue went to mission work7.4% of expenses · Program services
$101.53spent for every $100 of revenueSpending was higher than revenue this year.
$2.34in assets for every $1 spent this yearSome assets cannot be spent right away.
9.3%of its money came from giftsOther money may come from services or investments.

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 $7,603 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $37,600 for TRISH SCHNEIDER (CLUB MANAGER). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.

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

Tax year 2024

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.

Revenue left after expensesReported annual surplus$62,49315.86% of revenueShown in gray on the chart
Total expenses$331,52684.14% of revenue

Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.

Pause before giving. This filing reports that 0.0% of spending went to fundraising and 7.4% went to mission work. Ask the charity to explain these numbers and show recent results.
