In its most recent public year (2023), this organization spent $2,547,956 more than it brought in. Its liabilities exceeded its net assets — reserves were below zero (-4.1 months), down from 0.8 in 2011. Staff pay was 42% of spending. $1,041,940 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 2023. 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
