Transparency Matters: Hope for Haiti's Commitment to Accountability

Dear Hope for Haiti Family,

Each April, in honor of US Tax Day, we send out an annual email that includes links to our 990 tax filings, audited financial statements, and ratings from third-party organizations like? Charity Navigator and?GuideStar. We believe that these resources provide our supporters with an in-depth look at our financial performance, including how we use donations and how we measure the impact of our programs. Your generosity has allowed us to provide vital resources and partnership to communities in southern Haiti, and we could not do this work without you and your belief in our mission and our systems of transparency and accountability.?

Trust and accountability are critical when it comes to charitable giving.?That is why we are committed to maintaining the highest level of transparency and accountability in our financial practices. We take our responsibility to our donors seriously and want to assure you that your support is making a real difference in the lives of those we serve.

?Here's a concise list of important resources that provides an in-depth look at Hope for Haiti's financial and organizational health.
