The ranges from five computations from the Guesstimate model were: $0.57 to $2.30, $0.55 to $2.20, $0.56 to $2.20, $0.55 to $2.20, and $0.59 to $2.30 per investigation.

We are somewhat uncertain regarding L214’s ability to handle their recent funding growth, which has been quite rapid—from $200,000 raised in 2013 to $2.7 million in 2016. However, considering its growth, L214 needs to hire specialists for very specific tasks.” —Private communication with an employee of L214, 2017 This year we attempted to speak confidentially with two non-leadership staff members from each comprehensively evaluated charity.
