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 94 percent of our expended resources — among the highest of all philanthropic organizations — support our lifesaving health projects around the world. Less than six percent of expended resources go toward management and fundraising costs.
