Financial data as at June 2025. Sourced from Charities Services register.
XRB Tier 3 lets smaller charities (total expenses of $5M or less; $2M for periods ending before 28 March 2024) file a simple-format performance report instead of full PBE standards. The return reports totals but not the program/administration split or the line-item detail our template needs. No red flags were detected in what was filed, and revenue is below our $2M rating threshold. (Whether the accounts must be audited is a separate Charities Act test: audit from $1.1M of operating expenditure, review from $550K.) A letter grade is withheld rather than assigning one that would be driven by the template-fit, not the charity's operations. The charity's filed figures are shown above, and any structural concerns a donor would want to look at are surfaced separately. (v3.3 — set at the pre-2024 Tier 3 ceiling; matches Charity Navigator and CharityWatch US practice.)
How ratings work →Reasons to look carefully (1)
These structural observations are drawn from public data and are worth considering before a donation. They are not allegations of wrongdoing, and they don’t affect the charity’s letter grade.
- Reserves high for operating sizeReserves cover ~184 months of expenses on $249K revenue — very high for an operating charity this size
Each signal is a data-driven observation, not a judgement. They fire automatically from the figures filed with Charities Services. A charity can address any of these by filing fuller disclosure or updating its officer register. Methodology: /about/methodology/concern-signals.
