Westborough Civic Club Inc
Public records raise at least one point you should look into before giving.
What it says it does
The Westborough Civic Club was organized in 1975 for the sole purpose of benefiting the Town of Westborough and its residents . The Club is comprised of civic-minded men and women from all walks of life who derive satisfaction through personal participation in fund raising activities in a dynamic, social, community-based organization. Our primary fund raising activity is the sale of Christmas Trees each year between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Members do all the work (with a little help from our friends), including: ordering materials and stock, setting up the tree lot, handling thousands of trees and wreaths, tree sales and clean-up. The proceeds of the tree sale are returned to the community in the form of donations to many town organizations.

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.
