STUART, Fla. – House of Hope achieved an incredible score of 99% from Charity Navigator, a national organization that spotlights charities that resonate with people’s passions and make a difference in their communities.

Charity Navigator evaluates nonprofit organizations for Impact & Results, Accountability & Finance, Leadership & Adaptability, and Culture & Community. House of Hope’s rating at 99% is the highest score that House of Hope has ever received.

“The whole community can be proud of what our organization has achieved,” House of Hope CEO Rob Ranieri said. “It takes a lot of dedication and perseverance to score so well.  The evaluation is a tremendous validation for our staff, volunteers, supporters, donors, and partners.”

The 4-Star award puts House of Hope in the running for a Community Choice Award in one of four size-based categories. House of Hope is in the category of large-sized organizations. It is one of only 60 nonprofits of a similar size across the nation to earn this opportunity.

“So please vote!” Ranieri urged. “It’s not just for bragging rights. It’s a chance to make House of Hope better known and connect us with potential new donors who are inspired by our mission. That translates directly into more services for more of our friends and neighbors in need. And reaching this kind of recognition nationwide will keep us at the top of our game.”
