CharityIndex rating
One independent A+ to F grade from four published criteria, each scored separately from IRS filings and combined by weight.
B
—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 Green-wood Cemetery— this filing type doesn't report it, and the rating simply skips it (never counts it against the organization). See the exact thresholds →
B+Financial health25% of the rating152 mo reserves · +67% margin
Measures whether the organization is built to last: how many months its reserves would cover expenses (3+ months earns an A-range score, but hoarding 5+ years of budget is capped) and whether it runs a surplus or a deficit. For Green-wood Cemetery: 152 mo reserves · +67% margin earns a B+ on this criterion. See the exact thresholds →

Not scored for Green-wood Cemetery— this filing type doesn't report it, and the rating simply skips it (never counts it against the organization). See the exact thresholds →
