Tax year 2025

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.

Total reported revenue$371,104
Mission workProgram services$356,77296.14% of revenue82.2% of expenses
ManagementOffice and general costs$61,87016.67% of revenue14.3% of expenses
FundraisingAsking for donations$15,4004.15% of revenue3.5% of expenses
Total expenses$434,042116.96% of revenue

Expenses were greater than revenue, so the colored ring fills the available $100 and the total above 100% is shown below.

Has the pattern changed?

Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
