Mission Statement

We created Texas Heart Strings to bring hope to those Texans and to their families, friends, and relatives. Texas Heart Strings is a tax-exempt 501(C) (3) nonprofit organization that uses music to help support efforts to fight breast cancer and support other worthy causes. It was inspired by the song “Today is the Day” by Shake Russell and Michael Hearne - two of our state’s leading singer-songwriters - and drew from founder Bob Newlin’s commitment to honoring the life of his sister, who passed away from breast cancer. Each year, Texas Heart Strings holds a range of benefits, including house concerts and the annual Flight Against Breast Cancer event that raise money for research and to support other worthy causes. And by doing that we’re helping to celebrate the beauty of life, the joy of living, and the spirit of heart-felt generosity.

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.
