Unable to Provide Salaries

CharityWatch is unable to provide a range of Top Three Salaries for this charity for the above fiscal reporting year because we lack complete salary data for the organization. Except for officers, directors, and trustees, the IRS does not require breakouts of salaries totaling less than $100,000.

For example, XYZ charity would be required to provide a breakout in its tax form of compensation to its president of $55,000, but would not be required to provide a breakout of $99,000 in compensation to its top medical researcher if that person is not also an officer, director, or trustee of the organization.

This charity reports that compensation to its officers, directors, and trustees is under $100,000 per individual. Donors who would like to view limited salary data for this organization should refer to its tax form, which may be available on the charity's web site or from a number of third-party sources. See CharityWatch's Links page for information on obtaining copies of charity tax forms.


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.

According to the Sunshine Foundation audit of June 30, 2020 (Note B, Concentrations, Support and Revenue):

"Concentrations in support and revenue are those who account for 10% or more of the activity. For the year ended June 30, 2020, the Organization had one contributor whose contribution was 24% of the total support and revenue for the year. There were no concentrations noted for the year ending June 30, 2019."

According to the Sunshine Foundation audit of June 30, 2020 (Note K, Additional Information), the Foundation received "Donated services" in fiscal 2020 on which it placed a total value of $135,831. Of this amount, $132,731 consisted of donated "tickets and airfare."

[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.]

According to the Sunshine Foundation audit of June 30, 2020 (Note K, Additional Information):

"For the year ending June 30, 2020, IT expenses of $8,629 were paid to a related party. The owner of the IT company is a relative of one of the Foundation's employees."
