    Rating Information

    Not currently rated


    Ratings are calculated from one or more beacon scores. Currently, we require either an Accountability & Finance beacon or an Impact assessment to be eligible for a Charity Navigator rating. Note: The absence of a rating does not indicate a positive or negative assessment; it only indicates that we have not yet evaluated this organization.
    See rating report below to learn why this organization is not currently eligible.

    Historical Ratings
    Charity Navigator's ratings previously did not consider Leadership & Adaptability, Culture & Community, or Impact & Measurement. The historic rating mainly reflects a version of today’s Accountability and Finance score. More information on our previous rating methodologies can be found on our rating methodology page.
    Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!

    Mission Statement
    10 out of 10 points
    The nonprofit organization presents evidence of strategic thinking through articulating the organization's mission.
    RAMP Foundation supports volunteers with travel funds and know-how needed to work with refugee children and their families on short-term assignments at refugee resettlement organizations located throughout the United States. Lifting the financial barrier to volunteering opens the door to lifelong devotion to volunteerism. It also promises more effective integration of newcomers to our country, where and when needed.
    Vision Statement

    We believe deeply in the power of goodwill to change attitudes, lives, and, ultimately, the future.
    Strategic Goals
    20 out of 20 points
    The nonprofit organization presents evidence of strategic thinking and goal setting through sharing their most important strategic goals.
    Goal One: Many nonprofit organizations struggle to attract volunteers critical to their mission, yet capable volunteers may not have the financial resources or the necessary know-how to respond to the call to serve. But our interactive web portal, www.ramp.foundation, guides users to resettlement organizations and helps them to understand refugee needs. It also facilitates online travel applications.
    Goal Two: RAMP Foundation cannot fully function without a close connection with U.S.-based refugee resettlement organizations, that require the work of volunteers to achieve their mission. At a minimum, we strive to have a mutual linking of our websites that direct their volunteers to www.ramp.foundation, as a resource for travel and and short-term lodging within the continental U.S.
    Goal Three: As a 501(c)(3) Private Operating Foundation, RAMP Foundation is managed by an all-volunteer team that takes advantage of electronic financial, management, and technical software platforms to assure effective and translucent operations. RAMP Foundation complies with continental U.S. states that require registration for charity solicitations.
