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

Not scored for Tri-state Christian Tv— this filing type doesn't report it, and the rating simply skips it (never counts it against the organization). See the exact thresholds →
FFinancial health25% of the rating7 mo reserves · -308% margin
