DID YOU KNOW?

As a registered nonprofit organization, our financial statements are audited each year by an independent accounting firm. 

Our 2023-24 audit was recently completed and shows that 81 cents out of every dollar we spend goes directly to our programs. For perspective, Charity Navigator states that the most efficient charities spend 75% or more on their program. MYAS is proud to be above that threshold. 

Thank you to our amazing Board of Directors, executive leadership, staff, volunteers and supporters for their dedication and work in helping make us a highly effective and efficient charity.
