Rating (Strong, Stronger, or Strongest):
Impact Evidence: Stronger

Compared to other non-profits:
The most common places folks give/tithe to don’t come close to even our lowest (Strong) rating in any of the above categories. Only 25 out of millions of non-profits rate at least Strong in all 3 categories, which is why we recommend them as the very BIGGEST blessing for your buck!

I can help!
