CharityWatch is currently unable to provide a rating for Volunteers of America (VOA) due to how the organization is structured. This does not imply a negative or positive evaluation or rating. Please see the Ratings & Metrics section for more information. Volunteers of America does post on its website (www.voa.org) audited consolidated financial statements reflecting the financial activities of some of the legal entities that comprise VOA as a whole. However, this audit does not contain the financial activities of VOA's local offices. According to its audit of June 30, 2024 (Note 1 re: Nature of business): "...the National Organization provides administrative and management services to 30 locally chartered and unchartered corporations (Local Offices) authorized to operate under the name of Volunteers of America..." The audit does not contain the financial activities of these Local Offices.
As previously reported by CharityWatch with respect to VOA's fiscal 2020 financial reporting: VOA also posts on its website a pro forma IRS Form 990. According to its pro forma Form 990 (Schedule O) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, VOA reports re: "the process, if any, used by the organization to review this Form 990" (Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b): "Volunteers of America, Inc. is a church and is not required to file a Form 990 with the IRS. ... A complete copy of the organization's final pro forma Form 990 (including all schedules) is made available to the entire board of directors in advance of providing the Form 990 to charity ratings agencies and publication on the organization's website.
