“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.” – John 1:5
At some point in our lives, we have all experienced the pain and suffering of hunger, illness or even a disaster. And at some point in our lives, we have had someone reach out to us, sharing the light of hope and changing the course our lives. Now as members of the HOPE worldwide community, we have the opportunity to similarly carry the light of compassion and generosity to a hurting world.
As the International Day of Giving quickly approaches, we want to share some exciting news from Ken Berger, President and CEO of Charity Navigator, America’s premier charity evaluator:
“Based on the most recent information available, we have issued a new rating for your organization. We are proud to announce HOPE worldwide has earned a 4-star rating. Receiving four out of a possible four stars indicates that your organization adheres to good governance and other best practices that minimize the chance of unethical activities and consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way. Approximately a quarter of the charities we evaluate have received our highest rating, indicating that HOPE worldwide outperforms most other charities in America. This ‘exceptional’ designation from Charity Navigator differentiates HOPE worldwide from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.”
To God be the glory!
