Effect Hope among the select few recognized by Charity Intelligence for delivering exceptional measurable impact — restoring health, dignity, and hope in communities affected by neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).
Today, we’re honoured to announce that Effect Hope has once again been recognized by Charity Intelligence (Ci) Canada for our dedication to creating lasting, impactful change. For the second year in a row, we’ve been named one of Canada’s Top 10 Impact Charities and Top 10 International Impact Charities of 2025 — reflecting our deep commitment to transformative outcomes. Additionally, we’re thrilled to share that for our sixth consecutive year, we’ve earned a 5-star rating and secured a place among Canada’s Top 100 Charities.
This honour places us among an exceptional group of organizations that, according to Ci, deliver an average return of $7 for every $1 donated — compared to an average of only $1.50 across the sector.
“When donors give to a charity that creates very little change and could have given to one that helps significantly more people, much of their donation is wasted,” says Charity Intelligence. “Measuring impact helps reduce this waste and ensures every dollar makes a meaningful difference.”
With over 850 charities analyzed each year, these recognitions are a powerful testament to our team’s dedication to bringing hope, health, and restoration to people affected by neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).
Why this Recognition Matters
Each year, Charity Intelligence rigorously analyzes over 850 Canadian charities to assess their demonstrated impact — the measurable difference they make per dollar donated. Their independent research helps Canadians “give intelligently” by spotlighting organizations that create the most change in people’s lives.
Being named among Canada’s Top 100 Charities, Top 10 Impact Charities, and Top 10 International Impact Charities of 2025 reflects our unwavering commitment to restoring health, dignity, and hope to people affected by neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) such as leprosy.
A Celebration of Measurable Change
This recognition is more than an award — it’s evidence that your support is changing lives. Through the dedication of our partners, supporters, and staff, Effect Hope continues to bring sustainable health care, education, and empowerment to communities most in need.
As Charity Intelligence notes, “If you want your donation to make a difference — give for impact.”
A Shared Achievement
We share this milestone with every donor, partner, and team member who believes in a world free from neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Your support fuels our mission and helps ensure that every dollar creates the greatest possible impact.
From all of us at Effect Hope — thank you for standing with us as we continue to transform lives, one community at a time.
