What they do
Life is Hope Will Initially Assist With The Charitable Relief Efforts In Portau-Prince, Haiti. Life is Hope Plans to Live Out Christs Admonition to Care For, and to Give Hope To, The Least of These, Specifically Orphans, By Providing Housing and Other Basic Necessities for The Glory of God and The Building of His Kingdom. The Corporation Will Serve Two Purposes. The First Purpose is to Raise Enough Funds to Be Able to Rebuild An Orphanage That Was Destroyed By The Earthquake That Ravaged The Island Nation of Haiti. After The Earthquake That Struck Haiti In 2010, The Orphanage is Limited to How Many Children It Can House. Each and Every Week, Mothers Leave The Orphanage Crying Because They Are Not Able to House Any More Children. With The Funds That Life is Hope Will Raise, They Hope to Build A Better Facility That Includes A School, A Trade School, and Hopefully A Medical Clinic. The Second Purpose That Life is Hope Will Fulfill is to Help With The Construction of The Orphanage. Withou

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.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
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.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
