How the rating works →AProgram efficiency40% of the rating85% to programs · $0 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. For Beckman Research Institute: 85% to programs · $0 to raise $100 earns a A on this criterion. See the exact thresholds →
DFinancial health25% of the rating38 mo reserves · -34% margin

For Beckman Research Institute: 38 mo reserves · -34% margin earns a D on this criterion. See the exact thresholds →
