Analysts' Notes
CharityWatch is unable to provide a rating for Tearfund USA based on its fiscal year ended 03/31/2025 due to the charity's small size. CharityWatch's inability to provide a rating for the Organization at this time does not imply a negative or positive evaluation. According to its fiscal 2024 IRS Form 990, the Organization raised $479,542 in contributions and reported $479,025 in total expenses in fiscal 2024. The Tear Fund reports that it formed in 2018, according to its IRS tax Form 990. Also according to Form 990 reporting, it raised an average of $2.5 million during the three-year period of 2020 through 2022 but has since dropped to raising annual average contributions of less than $600,000 during the two-year period 2023 through 2024 (IRS Form 990, Schedule A, Part II, Section A). The financial reporting of small charities is often not comparable to that of larger ones for several reasons, including Economies of Scale: Economies of Scale Economies of scale occur when the size of an organization's operations allow it to operate more efficiently. As an organization grows it costs it less (per unit) to produce its goods or services due to its overhead and other fixed costs being spread over a larger volume of output. For example, a small charity that serves 500 poor people per year may need to pay $8,000 for its annual financial audit. A larger charity that serves 3,000 poor people per year may need to pay $10,000 for its annual financial audit. The first charity spent $16 per person served for the overhead cost of its audit, while the second spent far less at only $3.33 per person served. Charity rating methods suitable for larger organizations often cannot be fairly applied to much smaller charities given that the latter lack the economies of scale necessary to operate at the same level of efficiency. Small charities that assist underserved populations, that are fulfilling an unmet need, or that are new or in the process of scaling up to a larger size may still be worthy of donors' support despite CharityWatch's inability to rate them due to this comparability issue. |
