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

How the rating works →—Program efficiency40% of the ratingNo expense breakdown in filings

Not scored for Feed the Second Line— this filing type doesn't report it, and the rating simply skips it (never counts it against the organization). See the exact thresholds →
AFinancial health25% of the rating30 mo reserves · +52% margin
