HART’s Seals of Approval
A HART Guarantee
At HART, we believe that we have a responsibility to our donors, our rescue and adopter families, and our clients to ensure that HART is abiding by the best practices associated with nonprofit organizations. We know every dollar counts and we want all our stakeholders to donate, adopt, and use our services with peace of mind.
To that end, we would like to share our Seals of Approval granted by organizations that provide certification, review, and support to nonprofits.
Our Seals of Approval
GuideStar
The Platinum Seal of Transparency is the highest level of recognition offered by GuideStar, a service of Candid. By sharing metrics that highlight progress HART is making toward its mission, we are helping donors move beyond simplistic ways of nonprofit evaluation such as overhead ratios. By updating our GuideStar Nonprofit Profile to the Platinum level, we can now easily share a wealth of up-to-date organizational metrics with our supporters as well as GuideStar’s immense online audience, which includes donors, grantmakers, our peers, and the media.
Great Nonprofits
The GreatNonprofits Top-Rated Award is the only people’s choice award where volunteers, donors, and people served by nonprofits are asked to share stories of inspiration, express their appreciation, and potentially help nonprofits earn a spot on the prestigious GreatNonprofits Top-Rated Nonprofits List.
Charity Navigator
HART is proud to announce that its strong financial health and ongoing accountability and transparency have earned a 96/100 rating from Charity Navigator’s Encompass Rating System. This score designates HART as an official “Give with Confidence” charity, indicating that our organization is using its donations effectively based on Charity Navigator’s criteria.
