D
—Program efficiency40% of the ratingNo expense breakdown in filings

Not scored for Santa For A Day— this filing type doesn't report it, and the rating simply skips it (never counts it against the organization). See the exact thresholds →
DFinancial health25% of the rating0 mo reserves · -5% margin
