About Mercy Corps:
Exemplary Stewardship
Mercy Corps has long been recognized as an excellent steward of the resources entrusted to it. Over the past five years, more than 89 percent of our resources have been allocated to programs that help people in need. Ensuring that resources are wisely spent is the cornerstone of our values, vision, and strategy for growth in the future. We are proud of the awards, endorsements, memberships, and honors that substantiate our track record of accountability.
Better Business Bureau
Mercy Corps meets all 20 of the Better Business Bureau’s standards for charity accountability.
Charity Navigator
Mercy Corps received the highest rating in organizational efficiency from Charity Navigator, the premier American charity evaluator, based on how we allocate money among programs, administration and fundraising, and how efficiently we use our fundraising resources. Our overall rating is three stars, which "exceeds or meets industry standards and performs as well as or better than most charities in its Cause."
Fast Company
Mercy Corps was selected as a winner of the 2008 Fast Company/Monitor Group Social Capitalist Award. Fast Company identified Mercy Corps as a “top-performing nonprofit” that “insist[s] on serving up smart, bold solutions to seemingly intractable problems.” Mercy Corps also was named a recipient of the magazine’s 2009 “Social Enterprises of the Year” award for starting a bold banking initiative that could pull millions of people out of poverty in Indonesia.
InterAction
Mercy Corps is a member of InterAction, the largest coalition of America’s most reputable international NGOs. We adhere to InterAction’s financial and ethical standards in our fundraising and program operations.
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Mercy Corps is one of just a handful of partner organizations featured in the Global Development section of the 2008 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Annual Report. The report notes that "in emergencies, there is often a gap between immediate relief and longer-term recovery" and says that "...Mercy Corps exemplifies how our response is helping to bridge that gap." Although the Foundation made $18.9 million in grants for the Global Food Crisis, they chose to highlight Mercy Corps' projects.
