Why does HOPE allocate 10% of my gift for administrative expenses?

HOPE has received Charity Navigator’s top four-star rating 17 years in a row—something fewer than 1% of U.S. nonprofits achieve—and is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. To best steward HOPE’s resources, it is our board-approved policy to allocate up to 10% of designated gifts toward administrative expenses if needed.

Is my gift tax-deductible?

We suggest consulting a tax accountant to accurately determine the extent to which your donation is deductible. HOPE International is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all gifts to HOPE are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

How much of my contribution goes directly to program costs?

HOPE spends less than 20% of its funds on general and administrative expenses and fundraising. Read HOPE’s most recent annual report for a more detailed breakdown of how HOPE puts your donation to work. HOPE is a member of the prestigious Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and has received Charity Navigator’s top four-star rating 17 years in a row, placing HOPE in the top 1% of rated nonprofits in terms of resource management.
