We are pleased to announce
that we have once again received
Charity Navigator's four-star rating!

At Danita's Children, Hope for Haiti Children's Center, we value financial accountability and integrity in our practice of managing the donor's gifts to the highest good. We are pleased to say that in 2009 we received notification that we were once again awarded a four-star rating by Charity Navigator. Eighty-seven (87) cents of every dollar given went directly to program expenses to rescue and care for the children.

Charity Navigator is an industry standard for evaluating and rating charities based upon their financial health. The rating is made based upon the percentage of the donor's dollar that is put toward program expenses, balanced with administrative and fundraising costs. A four-star rating means that the charity "exceeds industry standards and out performs most charities in its Cause".

A message from the President and CEO of Charity Navigator regarding Danita's Children/Hope for Haiti Children's Center, Inc.:

"We are proud to announce Hope for Haiti Children's Center has earned our fourth consecutive 4-star rating for its ability to efficiently manage and grow its finances. Only 8% of the charities we rate have received at least 4 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Hope for Haiti Children's Center consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America. This “exceptional” designation from Charity Navigator differentiates Hope for Haiti Children's Center from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust."
