Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. We are a homeowner's association and use the dues to pay for our community pool mostly. We hire qualified life guards from our neighborhood and have neighborhood events surrounding the pool. We have food drives and have had book drives also this year to aid our community. The only people that get paid in our HOA are the guards and they are all part time employees.
