Financial Accountability

Project HOPE's low overhead means more of your support goes to funding health projects around the world.

Project HOPE has earned a reputation for financial integrity and efficiency. We take stewardship seriously, and we work to maximize the value of every contribution we receive.

More than 87 percent of our expended resources support our lifesaving health projects around the world. Less than thirteen percent of expended resources go toward management and fundraising costs.
