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

Not scored for Green the Church— 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 rating3 mo reserves · +4% margin
