A charity's tax return, read for you.
Donors deserve to know where the money goes. The answer is public. It's just buried in filings written for auditors.
Who reviews the files
Amir Arani, CPA, CA, spent years in Big 4 accounting and corporate finance, running controllership, accounts payable and procurement teams. He has followed the nonprofit sector for twenty years. He reviews every full charity file on this site and checks each figure against its source.
What we're for
Not to shame charities, and not to cheerlead them. We explain what the filings say, point out what is good, flag what deserves a closer look and keep our own opinions clearly marked. A charity that keeps large reserves or spends heavily on fundraising may have good reasons. You should still know.
Independence
Charity Math is an Arm's Length Co. project. We are not paid by the charities we review. See our sponsorship policy and methodology.
