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.

The in-person retreat, led by an expert in her field, was held at a retreat center, incorporated art and nature and served 16 women.
- $1,244 spent. Third in Program expenses of $1,244 was our Study Circles which served 65 women. Two circles met monthly, one circle met every other month, and one met for 4 weeks. Expenses are low for this service because several facilitators volunteer their time for leading these circles.
