Mission Statement

Founded in 2001, by Hope Dennis and M. Denise Dennis, The Dennis Farm Charitable Land Trust, a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) was created to preserve a rare and beautiful historic and cultural resource in Susquehanna County, PA. The 153-acre farm was originally settled b yhe family of Prince and Judith Perkins, free African Americans who moved to the Northeast PA from Connecticut in 1793, with the original wave of settlement into the region following the American Revolution. In the mid-19th century, their granddaughter and her husband Henry Dennis enlarged the farm. The descendants retained ownership of the property into the 21st and founded DFCLT. The site includes the Perkins-Dennis Family Cemetery where family members including veterans of the American Revolution, War of 1812 and Civil War are resting. The farmhouse dates back 200 years. The DFCLT hosts tours from Spring thru Fall, an annual Symposium in October, and an annual Forum in partnership with the Museum of the American Revolution, in Philadelphia, every February.

CharityAI™ rates charities from 0 to 100 using public filings (IRS Form 990 and the equivalent registries outside the US) together with the information the charity itself provides on DonationX. Ratings are recalculated every quarter, without human bias, and shown as stars.

Four pillars

Financial strength30%

Program expense ratio, fundraising efficiency, operating reserves, liabilities and revenue diversification, compared with similar organizations.

Reliability20%

Standing with the registry, filing history, verification and how complete the profile is.

Effectiveness25%

How much goes to programs and how consistently the organization delivers them.

Impact25%

The outcomes the charity reports on DonationX: people served, cost per service and results.

Stars

★★★★★ 80–100 ★★★★☆ 60–79 ★★★☆☆ 40–59 ★★☆☆☆ 20–39 ★☆☆☆☆ 1–19

A pillar with no data counts as zero. Without impact metrics the score is capped at 59 (three stars): only the charity can supply that data.
The coverage grade (A to D) says how much filing data the score rests on; NONE means there is not enough to rate.
An organization that is not in good standing with its registry (for example a revoked tax exemption) is shown as Not rated.
"Compared with peers" places the charity's key ratios against organizations of the same country, sector and size.
