B
★★★★
Rated on 2 of 4 criteria — the rest aren't reported in this filing type.

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.

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