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.

Programs described in its return (1)
- $44,344 spent. Provided comprehensive Geographic Information Systems (GIS), advanced data analytics, and technical infrastructure support to the Read On Arizona statewide initiative. A central component of this support included the design, hosting, and ongoing maintenance of MapLIT, a sophisticated interactive mapping and data visualization platform. By integrating diverse datasets, including community demographics, school performance metrics, and public health indicators-this tool serves as the primary data-driven engine for cross-sector partners to identify service gaps and deploy targeted strategies. These efforts directly empowered stakeholders to make evidence-based decisions to improve early literacy outcomes and educational equity for children across the state.
