WAC 434-120-040. Public information derived from registration

(1) Registration forms and attachments, filed by charitable organizations and commercial fund-raisers pursuant to WAC 434-120-105 and 434-120-215 , are available for public inspection or copying. However, Social Security numbers and financial account numbers are not public information. For purposes of public reports derived from the registration information, the charities program shall calculate and make available to the public, the following information: (a) For charitable organizations, the percentage of total expenditures in a reporting year allocated to charitable program services. This shall be calculated by dividing the amount reported as expended for charitable purposes by the amount reported as total expenses, and multiplying by 100. (b) For commercial fund-raisers the percentage of the proceeds of charitable solicitations which are paid to or retained by charitable organizations. This shall be calculated by dividing the amount reported as received or retained by the charitable organization(s) after all fund-raising expenses have been deducted, by the amount reported as raised, regardless of who has possession of funds and multiplying by 100. (2) Registrations of charitable trusts with several or mixed purposes shall not be made public under RCW 11.110.040 and 11.110.075 .
