Robin Hood Index10907 Charities
Which charities give it all away vs build reserves? Compare surplus ratios to see who redistributes donor funds most effectively vs who accumulates assets.
How it works: The Robin Hood Index measures each charity's surplus ratio (revenue minus expenses, as % of revenue). Negative = spending more than received (generous). Near zero = balanced. Positive = building reserves. Note: Endowment foundations are expected to accumulate - they're marked separately.
