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 Lois E Riss Trust— this filing type doesn't report it, and the rating simply skips it (never counts it against the organization). See the exact thresholds →
