    CHARITY RESPONSE TO REVIEW:
    Common Hope is honored to receive the highest rating from the Charities Review Council and thanks CRC for its commitment to identifying standards and best practices for the non-profit community. Receiving the seal of approval confirms our firmly held commitment to accountability – both to the Guatemalan familes with whom we partner and our generous donor base – as well as sound fiscal and program management. For twenty years, Common Hope has been developing strategies to provide the long-term stability that allows impoverished Guatemalan families to facilitate lasting change in their lives. We also continue to maintain a steadfast commitment to transparent communication with our donors and welcome any questions or comments.
