Where does your Donations go!
Eighty (80) cents of every dollar donated goes to provide direct emergency and educational financial aid to migrant farmworkers and families. Ten-twelve (10-12) percent is used for administrative expenses and a small 8 percent compensates the foundation president for his work managing Harvest of Hope Foundation. These percentages are good as compared to other non-profit organizations.
Harvest of Hope employs strict procedures for the distribution of funds which are outlined under the section “About the President.” We feel it is important to let visitors to our web-site know exactly how donations are used and what assistance is provided. Listed below is a sample of recent emergency, educational and grant monies distributed. This list will be updated frequently.
