Impact & Measurement
Score

$77,952 total costs / $478,251 worth of goods distributed = roughly $0.16 provides a dollar's worth of essential goods to someone in need [2021 USD]
Program Context
The Village Closet: This program directly distributes goods that fulfill the basic needs of its beneficiaries.
Data Time Period

Benchmark for Scoring
Impact scores of goods provision programs are based on comparing the cost to distribute the goods against the market value of those goods. Programs receive an Impact score of 100 if the cost to distribute goods is less than 75% of 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. This program provides goods for less than 75% the market value of the goods.
Methodology
This impact score was determined through the Goods Provision methodology which is fully detailed in the Charity Navigator Guide to Ratings. Analysis conducted in 2024 by Charity Navigator using data submitted by the nonprofit, theory and evidence from scientific research studies, and public datasets.
