How the rating works →Measures how much of every dollar spent actually reaches programs, plus what it costs to raise $100 of donations.

For Methodist Lebonheur Healthcare: 39 mo reserves · +36% margin earns a A 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.
