Are a charity’s gross receipts the same as program spending?
No. Gross receipts measure incoming amounts under the applicable reporting rules; they do not tell you how much was spent on programs, administration, fundraising, assets, or future work.
What this means in practice
A cumulative receipts figure can span multiple years and should retain its reporting period and source.
Program spending appears in expense information, not simply in the revenue total.
Famidi explicitly labels its published gross-receipts figure so it is not mistaken for money delivered to beneficiaries.
How Famidi approaches donor trust
Famidi publishes its legal identity, EIN, program explanations, policies, filing links, and evidence boundaries so a donor can verify the organization without relying on promotional language alone.
This is general educational information. Tax treatment and legal obligations can change, and a donor should use current IRS guidance or a qualified adviser for a decision about personal circumstances.
