Impact & Measurement
Score
100
This beacon estimates the actual impact a charity has on the lives of those it serves, and determines whether it is making good use of donor resources to achieve that impact.
$6,942 total costs / 3,000 meals provided = roughly $2.31 provides a meal to a person in need. [2021 USD]
Program Context
Rice is Life: This program collects, stores, and distributes food to front-line organizations like food pantries and soup kitchens.
Data Time Period
1/1/21 to 1/1/22
Benchmark for Scoring
Impact scores of food distribution programs are based on the cost of a meal relative to the cost that a food-secure person incurs to buy a meal in that county. Programs receive an Impact score of 100 if they are less than 75% the cost of a meal and a score of 80 if they are 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's cost per meal is less than 75% of the local meal cost.
Methodology
This impact score was determined through the Food Bank methodology which is fully detailed in the Charity Navigator Guide to Ratings. Analysis conducted in 2023 by Charity Navigator using data submitted by the nonprofit, theory and evidence from scientific research studies, and public datasets.
