World Care operates on less than a 3% adminstrative overhead cost, which means that for every dollar you give, over 97 cents goes to direct program efforts.  This is because of our commitment to financial transparency and efficiency, which provides higher levels of support to local, national and international efforts.  Utilizing a strict internal control structure, both cash and in-kind contributions are meticulously documented, allowing the system to track and harmonize financial information across all core processes.  A few of the major checks and balances that ensure the highest ethical standards and transparency include:

• Annual audits conducted by DeVries CPA's of Arizona
• Filed 990 tax form is publicly accessible
• Monthly financial statements reviewed by the Board of Directors
• Strict internal controls separating accounting and finance activities
• 4 star Charity Navigator rating
