We recognize that organizations may skip e-filing on certain years, while otherwise meeting our methodology. However, we do not believe it appropriate to rate an organization based on this limited amount of data.

This organization was impacted by COVID-19 in a way that effected their financial health in 2020. This normally would have reduced their star rating. Due to the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, we give charities such as this one the opportunity to share the story of COVID's impact on them, and doing this pauses our revision of their rating. Charities may submit their own pandemic responses through their nonprofit portal.
Trusted World Foundation reported being impacted by COVID-19 in the following ways:
Volunteers
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's operations financially:
During COVID our organization grew. We applied for the PPP program and this allowed us to hire a second driver. This was a game-changer for our clients.
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's delivery of programs:
Because of COVID we had to work around the work that volunteers do for us. These day-to-day tasks hand to be handled by staff
How this organization adapted to changing conditions caused by COVID-19:
On our day-to-day activities, we would deliver orders to a school. Then counselor would then schedule a meeting with their client and hand the resources that we provided. During COVID. both the counselor and the client were in lockdown. We had to deliver right to the client's house. Rather than delivering resources to 7 families to one location, we were not delivering these to 7 different locations.
Innovations the organization intends to continue permanently after the pandemic:
During this time the police officers were seeing a larger need while they were on patrol. We created a web-based application for them to order resources from us while on a call. Since then we have refined and improved the application and we are now rolling it out over several police departments across North Texas

Time Period of Data

Outcomes: Changes in the lives of those served by a nonprofit. They can be caused by the nonprofit.
Costs: The money spent by a nonprofit and its partners and beneficiaries.
Impact: Outcome caused by a nonprofit relative to its cost.
Cost-effectiveness: A judgment as to whether the cost was a good use of resources to cause the outcome.
Outcome Metric
market value of goods distributed
Outcome Data Source
Ratings are based on data the nonprofit itself collects on its work. We use the most recent year with sufficient data. Typically, this data allows us to calculate direct changes in participants' lives, such as increased income.
The nonprofit submitted data on the composition and market value of the goods it distributed.
Method for Attributing Outcomes
We don't know if the observed changes were caused by the nonprofit's program or something else happening at the same time (e.g., a participant got a raise). To determine causation, we take the outcomes we observe and subtract an estimate of the outcomes that would have happened even without the program (i.e., counterfactual outcomes).
We assume that the distribution of goods from one nonprofit's goods distribution program does not diminish the amount of goods distributed by any other (neighboring) goods distribution program. This “counterfactual” assumption about the amount of goods distributed in the absence of the nonprofit’s goods distribution program implies that the benefit of goods to a beneficiary in need constitutes a net gain; the gain is not offset by reductions in good provided to other beneficiaries in need. We therefore set the counterfactual to zero.
Cost Data Source
After estimating the program's outcomes, we need to determine how much it cost to achieve those outcomes. All monetary costs are counted, whether they are borne by a nonprofit service deliverer or by the nonprofit’s public and private partners.
Program cost data reported by the nonprofit. Partner and beneficiary costs reported by the nonprofit or estimated by Charity Navigator.
Cost Calculation
$1,137,513 program costs + $0 partner costs + $0 beneficiary costs = $1,137,513 total costs
We calculate impact, defined as the change in outcomes attributable to a program divided by the cost to achieve those outcomes.
Impact Statement
$0.60 provides a dollar's worth of essential goods to someone in need.
Benchmark for Rating
Impact & Results scores of goods provision programs are based on comparing the cost to distribute a goods against the market value of those goods. Programs receive an Impact & Results score of 100 if the cost to distribute goods is less than 75% the value of those goods and a score of 80 if it is less than 125%. If a nonprofit reports impact but doesn't meet the benchmark for cost-effectiveness, it earns a score of 65.

During lockdown this was a huge adaption.
