Rated on 2 of 4 criteria — the rest aren't reported in this filing type.

How the rating works →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. Not scored for Arc-south Bay— this filing type doesn't report it, and the rating simply skips it (never counts it against the organization). See the exact thresholds →

For Arc-south Bay: 8 mo reserves · +5% margin earns a A on this criterion. See the exact thresholds →
Checks how the organization is run, from its own Form 990: an independent board majority, a board of five or more, conflict-of-interest, whistleblower and document-retention policies, and independently audited financials.
