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

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $360 spent. Crafting a Gourd Birdhouse was a fundraiser for the Hillsdale County Republican Women. The goal was create an event that would bring women in and expose them to our organization. Women play an important role in the community and become leaders and teaching others to work together to promote good government. Thirty women were impacted during this event. It was a successful event.
  2. $433 spent. Mother Daughter Tea Party was our second big event. Mothers and Daughters enjoyed tea and and a light meal. Our guest speakers for the event was Laura Perry candidate for State Representative and Allison Laffer Lindsey. These ladies gave insight to our guest that being a wife and mother does not limit the ability to be involved and educate like minded women towards active political participation. Forty guest enjoyed the event.
  3. $225 spent. Free Community Picnic This event was a free community picnic open to the public. Members donated food and drinks. Activities were available for the young and old. Our guest speaker was from the Hillsdale County Historical Society. She spoke about the history of the area and Baw Beese Lake. There were other bigger events happening during this time. Participation from the community brought in less than 10 to 15 people. This event turned out to be a disappointment. The group decided not to have another picnic in the future. Time was invested by the members and to have a very low turn out is disappointing.
