A
—Program efficiency40% of the ratingNo expense breakdown in filings
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 Citizens Electric Corporation— this filing type doesn't report it, and the rating simply skips it (never counts it against the organization). See the exact thresholds →
