What they do
We Took A Cultural Immersion Trip With 10 Participants From The Community. 3 Presentations Were Given In Our Local Communities From What We Learned On The Trip. In Addition, We Held 123 Community Events That Gave People A Chance to Learn About First Hand Experiences of Immigrants. We Also Created A Traveling Exhibit That Highlights The Stories of Women Keeping The Home Fires Buring While Their Loved Ones Are Working On Dairy Farms In Our Community. It Has Traveled to 6 Communities So Far and We Are Scheduled to Show The Exhibition In 6 More Communities In Our Local Area This Year.
Should I give to this charity?
Basic public information is available, but it is not enough to judge how well donations are used. Ask the charity for a current spending breakdown and 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

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $9,350 for MERCEDES FALK (DIRECTOR). 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.
