How the rating works →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. For Inatai Foundation: 83% to programs earns a A on this criterion. See the exact thresholds →

For Inatai Foundation: 284 mo reserves · -129% margin earns a F on this criterion. See the exact thresholds →
Checks how the organization is run, from its own Form 990: an independent board majority, a board of five or more, conflict-of-interest, whistleblower and document-retention policies, and independently audited financials. The share of disclosed checks that pass sets the letter. For Inatai Foundation: 6 of 6 checks met earns a A+ on this criterion. See the exact thresholds →
