Financial data as at December 2025. Sourced from Charities Services register.

NR
Not rated — Summary-form filing — not enough detail to grade

Charities Services Tier 3 reporting allows charities under $2M revenue to file a simple-format annual return rather than audited financial statements. The return reports totals but not the program/administration split or the line-item detail our template needs. No red flags were detected in what was filed, and revenue is below the $2M Tier 2 boundary where audited accounts become mandatory. A letter grade is withheld rather than assigning one that would be driven by the template-fit, not the charity's operations. The charity's filed figures are shown above, and any structural concerns a donor would want to look at are surfaced separately. (v3.3 — aligned with Charities Services tier boundary; matches Charity Navigator and CharityWatch US practice.)

Reasons to look carefully (2)

These structural observations are drawn from public data and are worth considering before a donation. They are not allegations of wrongdoing, and they don’t affect the charity’s letter grade.

  • Small board structure
    2 current officers listed on the register — best-practice boards have 5+ members with separation of duties
  • Reserves high for operating size
    Reserves cover ~263 months of expenses on $377K revenue — very high for an operating charity this size

Each signal is a data-driven observation, not a judgement. They fire automatically from the figures filed with Charities Services. A charity can address any of these by filing fuller disclosure or updating its officer register. Methodology: /about/methodology/concern-signals.
