A+
A+Program efficiency40% of the rating93% to programs · $2 to raise $100
Measures how much of every dollar spent actually reaches programs, plus what it costs to raise $100 of donations. The worse of the two measures sets the letter (85%+ to programs is an A; under $15 to raise $100 is an A), averaged over the three most recent filings.

AFinancial health25% of the rating9 mo reserves · +28% margin
