We’ve consistently received the highest rating available for accountability and transparency.

We are fiscally responsible and financially healthy, having earned 14 4-star ratings from Charity Navigator and Candid Silver Seal of Transparency on Guidestar for 2024 – honors achieved by the most exceptional of rated charities. We take great pride in our financial efficiency, our transparency, and our accountability to our public and private investors. We keep our overhead low to maximize the percentage of your contributions that go directly into our programs, and we spend our program funds wisely so that as many children as possible may benefit from our work.
