HelpHOPELive is the #1 Charity in Philadelphia!

Charity Navigator, a nonprofit charity evaluator, recently ranked Philadelphia the 13th most charitable city in the U.S. - based on financial health, accountability and transparency. Out of the Philadelphia-area charities, HelpHOPELive tops the list. Charities are given a score out of 70, and HelpHOPELive maintains a four-star rating with a score of 68.80. Focusing on their values of teamwork, accountability, commitment, transparency, trust and of course, HOPE, is what enables HelpHOPELive to achieve this rating. 

HelpHOPELive  engages communities in fundraising to help patients and families ease the financial burden of a medical crisis. Since inception in 1983, they have assisted more than 7,000 patients and families with fundraising – providing more than $82 million in support for lifesaving transplants, and (since 2000) life-changing spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries.
