CharityWatch currently has concerns about this organization and/or is unable to provide complete rating information due to the organization's nondisclosure of financial information. Please see the Analysts' Notes section for a more detailed explanation.
CharityWatch is unable to provide a letter grade rating of AMVETS (American Veterans) at this time due to the organization's failure to respond to CharityWatch's request for its fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 audited financial statements and IRS Form 990. For this reason, we have issued AMVETS (American Veterans) a "?" rating for its fiscal year-ended 8/31/2022. CharityWatch sent an inquiry to the Executive Director of AMVETS via U.S. mail on 9/15/2023, and has not received a response as of the date of this update on 10/19/2023. Additionally, CharityWatch attempted to locate a fiscal 2022 tax filing and audited financial statements for the organization in several online public databases, including the online databases of state attorneys general and secretaries of state, but was unsuccessful. According to the SOS Charity Organization Record for AMVETS (American Veterans) that CharityWatch obtained from the Maryland Secretary of State's online public registry on 10/18/2023, its registration is "Delinquent," with its last approval date listed as August 31, 2020. CharityWatch's most recent letter grade rating of AMVETS was based on our analysis of its fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 audited financial statement and IRS Form 990. We assigned the organization a rating of "D" on our A+ to F rating scale for spending 45% of its cash budget on programs and for spending $28 to raise each $100 of cash support. If AMVETS (American Veterans) responds to CharityWatch's request for copies of its financials at a future date, we may update our rating of AMVETS at that time. |
