C+
—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.

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