Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!

Impact & Measurement
Score
100
This beacon estimates the actual impact a charity has on the lives of those it serves, and determines whether it is making good use of donor resources to achieve that impact.
$145,086 total costs / $262,408 worth of goods distributed = roughly $0.55 provides a dollar's worth of essential goods to someone in need [2021 USD]
Program Context
Supporting Hands: This program directly distributes goods that fulfill the basic needs of its beneficiaries.
Data Time Period
1/1/22 to 12/31/22
Benchmark for Scoring
Impact scores of goods provision programs are based on comparing the cost to distribute the goods against the market value of those goods. Programs receive an Impact score of 100 if the cost to distribute goods is less than 75% of the value of those goods and a score of 80 if it is less than 125%. If a nonprofit reports impact but doesn't meet the benchmark for cost-effectiveness, it earns a score of 65. This program provides goods for less than 75% the market value of the goods.
Methodology
This impact score was determined through the Goods Provision methodology which is fully detailed in the Charity Navigator Guide to Ratings. Analysis conducted in 2024 by Charity Navigator using data submitted by the nonprofit, theory and evidence from scientific research studies, and public datasets.
