Unable to Provide Salaries

See Analysts' Notes for explanation.

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.

The St. Labre Indian School Educational Association is not required to file an annual return (Form 990) with the IRS or state regulators because it is a religious organization. CharityWatch is therefore unable to provide complete salary or governance information for this organization.

CharityWatch's letter grade rating of the St. Labre Indian School Educational Association is based on our analysis of its audited financial statements for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. 

According to the St. Labre Indian School Educational Association (St. Labre) audit of June 30, 2023 (Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, In-Kind Contributions and Grants):

St. Labre received donated services and goods during the fiscal year-ended June 30, 2023, on which it placed a total value of $73,536. Of this amount, $46,652 and $26,884 was attributed to "services and goods," and "commodities," respectively. 

[Note: CharityWatch generally excludes the value of in-kind (non-cash) donations of goods and services from its calculations of Program % and Cost to Raise $100. More information on how grades are calculated and the treatment of in-kind donations can be found on the Our Process page.]
