HOPE FOR JAVIER INC
EIN 26-2346544 · Fund Raising & Fund Distribution - Voluntary Health Associations (G12)
What they do
HOPE for JAVIERS MISSION is to CREATE HOPE WHERE NONE (YET) EXISTS. BECAUSE DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY is CONSIDERED AN ORPHAN DISEASE, ONE THAT PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES CONSIDER LEAST PROFITABLE and THEREFORE NOT WORTHY of THEIR ATTENTION, IT is UP to PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS to FUND MUCH of THE RESEARCH. THROUGH FUNDRAISING and RAISING AWARENESS, HOPE for JAVIER is CHANGING THE OUTCOME for BOYS DIAGNOSED WITH THIS DEVASTATING DISEASE IN TWO WAYS: BY FUNDING TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH THAT FOCUSES ON MOVING SCIENCE FROM THE LAB INTO HUMAN CLINICAL TRIALS and BY FUNDING INITIATIVES THAT MAKE IMPROVEMENTS to THE STANDARD of CARE, THE QUALITY of LIFE, and THE GENERAL OUTLOOK for ALL THOSE DIAGNOSED.
Should I give to this charity?
Of every $100 spent, about $97.90 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Expenses were greater than revenue, so the colored ring fills the available $100 and the total above 100% is shown below.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
