CharityWatch Analysts perform an in-depth analysis of charities' audited financial statements and IRS tax filings, and often review other documents such as state filings, annual reports, and fundraising contracts during their evaluations. Below are select notes that CharityWatch believes may be of interest to donors.

CharityWatch is unable to provide a rating for the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare (the Committee) based on its fiscal year ended 3/31/2025 due to an inability to obtain the organization's independent audited financial statements. For this reason, we have issued it a "?" rating, signifying nondisclosure of financial information and other specific concerns. 

CharityWatch's most recent rating of the organization was "D" on our "A+" to "F" rating scale based on our analysis of its IRS Form 990 and audited financial statements for its fiscal year ended 3/31/2021. 

Per the Committee's fiscal year ended 3/31/2025 IRS Form 990, Part XII, line 2b, the Committee responded "Yes" to the question: "Were the organization's financial statements audited by an independent accountant?" We reached out to the Committee by mail and email on April 15, 2026. We have not received a response as of the date of this note, April 29, 2026. 

According to its fiscal 2025 IRS Form 990, the Committee reported raising $7,216,241 in cash contributions and spending $7,946,731 in total cash expenses that year. In its prior fiscal year 2024 reporting, the Committee reported raising $7,841,453 in total cash contributions and spending $8,283,778 in total cash expenses, according to its IRS Form 990 of the same year. 

Additionally, according to Schedule G, Part I of the Committee's IRS tax Form 990, the Committee paid $1,279,740 to Lukens Company for "Direct Mail" services, which resulted in $0 of gross receipts for the Committee. 

If the Committee chooses to provide audited financial statements to CharityWatch in the future, we may update our rating of the organization at that time.
