HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., July 19, 2011 /
Christian Newswire/ -- One of Bright Hope's highest values is integrity. We serve people who live on less than $1 a day, so we understand the value of every dollar that we receive and the difference that every dollar can make in the life of someone in extreme poverty. We value the trust given to us to effectively and efficiently deliver help and hope to those in desperate need. Bright Hope President, C.H. Dyer, says, "To be entrusted with our allies' financial gifts is something we honor by serving the extreme poor - not only with their financial gifts, but delivery of services, spiritual messages, and hope."
In July 2011, Bright Hope was awarded its sixth consecutive 4-Star rating for its ability to efficiently manage and grow its finances from Charity Navigator - America's largest and most-utilized independent evaluator of charities. Of the thousands of not-for-profit organizations evaluated by Charity Navigator, only 4% have received six consecutive 4-Star ratings. This puts Bright Hope among the top charities evaluated by Charity Navigator.
In awarding this distinction, Charity Navigator President and Chief Executive Officer Ken Berger states: "Bright Hope International consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America. This 'exceptional' designation from Charity Navigator differentiates Bright Hope International from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust."
Bright Hope is also a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and abides by all of its established accounting standards.
