D
—Program efficiency40% of the ratingNo expense breakdown in filings

Not scored for Anza-borrego Foundation— this filing type doesn't report it, and the rating simply skips it (never counts it against the organization). See the exact thresholds →
DFinancial health25% of the rating84 mo reserves · -35% margin
