Frequently asked questions.

Why does The Hunger Project not distribute food? How can I get involved? Get the answers to these questions and more.

What accreditations does The Hunger Project have?

We proudly earn high ratings from Charity Navigator and the American Institute of Philanthropy. We are a Better Business Bureau and America’s Best Charities seal-holder and GuideStar Exchange Platinum participant, and are proud to be a founding member of InterAction and meet all their membership standards for accountability, transparency and effectiveness. We hold consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

Why don’t you publish your overhead rate?

We don’t subscribe to the traditional model of using our ‘overhead’ rate as a metric of our effectiveness. What’s been dubbed as overhead are costs necessary to run a global organization. Every dollar spent is spent to maximize our impact: paying our trained staff to do their jobs efficiently and skillfully, investing in systems to run our organization more effectively, or getting the word out to more people about the awesome work we do.

Why doesn’t The Hunger Project distribute food?

The Hunger Project does not distribute food because food aid is not a sustainable solution to world hunger.

Although there are emergency situations in which food aid is the difference between life and death, more than 690 million of the world’s hungry people are chronically undernourished (FAO 2020). For them, hunger is a daily, sometimes life-long, reality.

People living with persistent hunger require and deserve a sustainable solution based on self-reliance. The Hunger Project addresses the root causes of hunger and poverty using a methodology that is affordable, replicable and sustainable. Our methodology emphasizes rural development and self-reliance. It enables women and men to eradicate persistent hunger in their communities, and makes them more resilient so that they can cope with famine or other emergencies as they arise.

Make change happen. Invest in people.
