Every dollar has a destination.
Every filing is on file.
Trust is built in receipts. Guarded Hope publishes how every dollar is put to work, files an independent audit each year, and maintains the governance policies required of a responsible 501(c)(3).
FY 2026 figures are under independent review.
A certified public accountant is completing the independent audit of our 2026 financial statements. Verified revenue, expenses, and the year over year record will be published here in full the moment that review concludes.
Our use-of-funds model below reflects how each dollar is allocated across the year. Exact audited amounts follow on completion.
88¢ of every dollar hits the street.
Guarded Hope runs with zero paid field staff. Every distribution is carried out by volunteers, which is why the great majority of each dollar reaches a neighbor directly rather than overhead.
