    Ratings are calculated from one or more beacon scores. Currently, we require either an Accountability & Finance beacon or an Impact & Measurement beacon to be eligible for a Charity Navigator rating. Note: The absence of a rating does not indicate a positive or negative assessment; it only indicates that we have not yet evaluated this organization.
    See rating report below to learn why this organization is not currently eligible.

    Historical Ratings
    Charity Navigator's ratings previously did not consider Leadership & Adaptability, Culture & Community, or Impact & Measurement. The historic rating mainly reflects a version of today’s Accountability and Finance score. More information on our previous rating methodologies can be found on our rating methodology page.
    Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!

    Because we have no paid employees the Board is responsible for all aspects of operations. The board has various expertise areas: education, management, financial, legal, medical, entrepreneurial. As well, two members are of Indian origin and all have lived and/or traveled in India. We draw heavily on these assets. In the fall of 2021 we held a board retreat (members live throughout the US and Canada) to assess our position and future plans.

    Adaptability Statement
    30 out of 30 points
    The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
    Help Kids India is a pass-through organization. Our commitment to provide adequate funding led us to revamp our marketing, adding a monthly update to all donors. Through this we increased the number of monthly donors by over 100% and motivated lapsed donors to give again. We don't use an outside donor management tool, but organized our donors into different tiers and targeted each with specific appeals and information. Because we are small, the board is able to send hand-written thanks for all donations, regardless of size, and to maintain and build cordial relationships with many of our donors. BET's annual report for 2021 is attached below--a sample of what we send donors, much of which comes directly from BET.
