In its most recent public year (2024), this organization brought in $2,504,183 more than it spent. Its reserves stood at about 14.3 months of spending, up from 12.4 in 2012. Staff pay was 36% of spending. $4,512,043 of its net assets are donor-restricted.
Reserve months = net assets ÷ average monthly spending; net assets count everything the organization owns beyond its debts — buildings and donor-restricted funds included, not just cash. Staff pay = salaries, wages, and officer compensation; it excludes benefits and payroll taxes. The IRS releases this data years after the fact — this organization's newest public year is 2024. Years refer to the calendar year in which the organization's fiscal year ended. Short-form filers do not publicly report donor-restricted balances or staffing costs. Source filings
