Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity has attained the coveted 4-star rating from Charity Navigator. This highest possible rating verifies that Asheville Habitat adheres to sector best practices, executes its mission in a financially efficient way, and has strong financial health and a commitment to accountability and transparency.
Since 1983, the
non-profit has been offering affordable homeownership and home repair services
to qualified Buncombe County individuals and families who earn 30-70% of Area
Median Income (AMI). Asheville Habitat has built more than 300 new houses and
repaired 200 existing homes, helping nearly 1,400 adults and children build a
better future.
Since 2002,
using objective, data-driven analysis, Charity Navigator has awarded only the
most fiscally responsible organizations a 4-star rating. Charity Navigator
President and CEO Michael Thatcher noted, “Attaining a 4-star rating verifies
that Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity exceeds industry standards and
outperforms most charities in its area of work. This exceptional designation
from Charity Navigator sets Asheville Habitat apart from its peers and
demonstrates to the public its trustworthiness. Approximately only a quarter of
rated charities achieve this distinction!”
“It is
important that our donors know we are superior stewards of their funds and this
4-star Charity Navigator rating provides them with that level of confidence,”
added Kit Rains, Asheville Habitat’s Development Director.
