Historical Ratings
Charity Navigator's ratings previously did not consider Leadership & Adaptability, Culture & Community, or Impact & Measurement. The historic rating mainly reflects a version of today’s Accountability and Finance score. More information on our previous rating methodologies can be found on our rating methodology page.
Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!
Yes2jobs cannot currently be evaluated by our Accountability & Finance methodology due to only having one year of electronically-filed IRS Form 990 data (990EZ, 990N, 990PF does not qualify).
To ensure year-to-year consistency the Encompass Rating System's Accountability & Finance beacon analyzes the three-year average of some data provided through the IRS form 990.
Charity Navigator currently only has one year of consecutive e-filed Forms 990 from the IRS for Yes2jobs under the EIN: 83-0683496.
Before Charity Navigator can evaluate Yes2jobs, Yes2jobs will need to e-file for additional fiscal years.
This chart displays the trend of revenue and expenses over the past several years for this organization, as reported on their IRS Form 990.
