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 $431,213 for FIDEL GONZALEZ (PRESIDENT/CEO). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
