Finances
In F2017, Hope and Healing International took over control of Christian Blind Mission US (the US affiliate of HHI). In F2019, Hope and Healing transferred control of Christian Blind Mission US to a separate organization. As such, the financial analysis below does not include any revenues or expenditures for the US operations.
Hope and Healing International is a Major 100 charity, with $13.8m in cash donations and $14.3m in donated goods-in-kind (primarily medical supplies and equipment) in F2019. Administrative costs are 4% of revenues (excluding investment income) and fundraising costs are 23% of cash donations. This means overhead costs are 27%. For every dollar donated, 73 cents go to the cause. This is within Ci’s reasonable range for overhead spending.
HHI has funding reserves of $6.3m, including $2.6m of donor-endowed funds. This means HHI can cover program costs for roughly three months.
Hope and Healing International paid external fundraisers $685k in F2019 to raise $2.5m for a cost of 27 cents per dollar raised.
This charity report is an update that has been sent to Hope and Healing International for review. Changes and edits may be forthcoming.

NIA sales in F2019 are listed as Business activities (net) but are presented gross as the costs associated with the sales are not reported by the charity separately.
