Ratings & Metrics
*Why Not Ratable?
CharityWatch is unable to rate this organization due to how it is structured. This does not imply a negative or positive evaluation.
Some charities engage in significant financial transactions with a related organization outside of the U.S. for which sufficient audited financial information is either not available, is not presented in combined form, and/or is not based on U.S. reporting standards. CharityWatch's methodology is not designed to measure how efficiently one entity of a charity grants funds to its affiliates, partners, or related organization(s) outside of the U.S. In many of these cases, the charity is essentially functioning as a U.S. based fundraising arm. Therefore, when applicable, CharityWatch has calculated a Cost to Raise $100 fundraising ratio for such charities.
Please see the Analysts' Notes section for a more detailed explanation and for this organization's Cost to Raise $100, if applicable.

Analysts' Notes
CharityWatch is currently unable to provide a letter grade rating of Humanity & Inclusion (HI-US) due to how the organization is structured and funded. HI-US receives the vast majority of its funding from the U.S. government and an associated organization, Humanity & Inclusion Federation (HI Federation). In addition, the vast majority of HI-US program and total expenses consist of grants to HI Federation.
"HI-US is a part of the Handicap International DBA Humanity & Inclusion Federation (the HI Federation), comprised of eight national associations, which is headquartered in Lyon, France. HI-US solicits private and public funds, as well as provides program management through technical expertise, training, monitoring and evaluation, and grants administration. HI-US provides 70% of unrestricted contributions to the HI Federation and the HI Federation Affiliated Organizations. For the year ended December 31, 2023, they contributed $576,218 to the HI-Federation. HI-US did not make any contributions to the HI Federation Affiliated Organizations... ...Additionally, HI-US expended $42,312,472 in sub-grants to the HI Federation (which includes 70% of unrestricted contributions). The HI Federation implements the programs. There were no sub-grants awarded to the HI Federation Affiliated Organizations in 2023. HI-US and the HI Federation also share two Board Members..." According to the 2023 Humanity & Inclusion tax filing and audited financial statements, of the approximately $43.7 million in contributions received in 2023, approximately $40.1 million consisted of government grants. In addition, the majority of the organization's non-government contributions were received from a related, non-U.S. entity (HI Federation) for which financial documents either do not exist, are not publicly available, or are not based on U.S. accounting standards. According to the HI-US audit (Note 6): "...For the year ended December 31, 2023, operational support to HI-US [from HI Federation] totaled $2,093,517." CharityWatch's inability to provide a complete rating of HI-US is strictly due to how the organization is structured and funded. In order for CharityWatch to be able to provide a complete rating for HI-US in the future, we would require consolidated or combined audited financial statements, expressed in U.S. dollars and based on U.S. GAAP, that include all of HI Federation's related entities. Such statements would eliminate inter-organizational related party transactions, as well as provide a comprehensive view of how the organization both raises and spends public dollars on the whole. This information may not currently be practicable for HI-US or HI Federation to provide given that the organization's headquarters is based in Europe and not the U.S. |
