This record may have an IRS status problem. Do not give until you verify it.

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

94.60%of revenue went to mission work86.0% of expenses · Program services
$110.06spent for every $100 of revenueSpending was higher than revenue this year.
$0.19in assets for every $1 spent this yearSome assets cannot be spent right away.
62.4%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 $11,149 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $71,500 for KAREN ZABRISKI (PRESIDENT). 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.
