Worthy of Your Trust

The American Health Assistance Foundation (AHAF) meets all twenty standards for charity accountability and has been approved by the Wise Giving Alliance of the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The BBB evaluated AHAF’s governance, fundraising practices, solicitations, informational materials, and how well the organization spends its money.

AHAF’s website content complies with all eight HONcode standards for trustworthy health information.

AHAF is a member of and in compliance with the Direct Marketing Association’s Guidelines for Ethical Business Practice and other DMA standards for nonprofit organizations.

AHAF is dedicated to good stewardship of contributions from our generous donors. Both the AHAF Board of Directors and its staff members strive to reduce costs so that as much funding as possible is invested in world class research and public outreach. We freely offer information on our complete financial picture through our annual report, consolidated financial statement and IRS form 990. 

Each year AHAF publishes an annual report with information on the research we fund, our outreach efforts, our donors and a summary of our financial position. Read our most recent Annual Report (PDF, 50 pages).

At the end of each fiscal year an independent auditor completes a detailed statement of AHAF’s financial position including assets, expenses, cash flows, support and revenues, and liabilities. Look at this past year’s consolidated financial statement (PDF, 24 pages).

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires that all 501(c)(3) private foundations, such as AHAF, submit an annual statement of mission, programs and finances in an IRS form 990. View AHAF’s latest IRS Form 990 here (PDF, 43 pages).
