What is their Ability to Meet Goals and Serve Clients?

# data[].attributes.body
Due to an issue with the charity not being able to provide us the information, this question won't be complete

Although, based on experience, I would say their ability to serve clients is not amazing

Our group booked over a week in advanced to meet with the charity and no one was there to help us

It shows irresponsibility and lack of ability to properly serve their clients

How Effectively do they use their Money?

# data[].attributes.body
After salaries, they spend the most money on their programs

To provide proper services, they need an amazing staff, so it makes sense that $13,000,000 go to paying the salaries

Approximately $2,200,000 goes to running their programs

The money is spent well but a little less could be spent on things like Travel and Training which cost close to $400,000

Aside from that, all the grants, donations, income and more go to the right use
