Ask these three easy questions

  1. Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.

  3. Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.

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$44,530
Mission workProgram services$54,751122.95% of revenue100.0% of expenses

Total expenses$54,752122.96% 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.
