CharityWatch is unable to provide a letter grade rating of Action Against Hunger USA at this time due to questions we have related to the organization's reporting of $4,510,951 of "Program Support" expenses in its audited financial statements for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. For this reason, we have issued Action Against Hunger USA a "?" rating for its fiscal year-ended 12/31/2021. Specifically, we asked the charity if these expenses are related to the functional expense category of program expense, management and general expense, and/or fundraising expense, given that they are broken out into a separate column in its audited financial statements. CharityWatch sent inquiries to Action Against Hunger USA's CFO via email on 10/10/2023, and again via U.S. mail on 10/11/2023, and has not received a response as of the date of this update on 10/18/2023. If Action Against Hunger USA responds to CharityWatch's questions at a future date, we will update its rating at that time. |
