About Us
Hope In Action is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, humanitarian organization based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Hope In Action provides essential items including shelf-stable food, vitamins, medicine, clothing, shelter and vegetable seeds to at-risk people in the U.S. and around the world.
How We Operate
Essential items are provided on a short-term basis to people devastated by famine, drought, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, earthquakes, mudslides, war and financial lack. Hope In Action works with other non-profit organizations when appropriate to optimize organizational efficiencies and utilize strategic contacts in the distribution phase. The entire relief process is managed to assure that every item gets to the people needing assistance, and that there is total compliance with all donor requirements.
Underlying causes of food scarcity and insufficient nutrition are addressed by providing orphanages with vegetable seeds, plants and innovative gardening techniques. Sustainable gardens produce food, seed for sharing and help children develop important work skills.
Efficiency
Efficient operations hold internal costs to a minimum so resources can be focused on helping people.
- over 99% of 2007 revenue benefited people needing assistance
- less than 1% of 2007 revenue was used internally
Credibility
