One independent A+ to F grade from four published criteria, each scored separately from IRS filings and combined by weight.
B
★★★★
Rated on 2 of 4 criteria — the rest aren't reported in this filing type.
Held down by its weakest criterion — a strong score on one criterion can't hide a weak one.
How the rating works →—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 I Support the 1— 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 rating41 mo reserves · +43% 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 I Support the 1: 41 mo reserves · +43% margin earns a A on this criterion. See the exact thresholds →
—Governance25% of the ratingNot reported in this filing type

The share of disclosed checks that pass sets the letter. Not scored for I Support the 1— this filing type doesn't report it, and the rating simply skips it (never counts it against the organization). See the exact thresholds →

Counts five disclosure signals: a recent filing, a mission statement, program descriptions, a listed website, and the full expense breakdown. More disclosure, better letter. For I Support the 1: 2 of 5 disclosure signals earns a C on this criterion. See the exact thresholds →
