Homes for Our Troops Named Top Rated Charity by American Institute of Philanthropy

American Institute of Philanthropy - Homes for Our Troops

The American Institute of Philanthropy, one of the country's premier charity watchdog organizations, has included Homes for Our Troops in their "Top-Rated Veterans & Military Charities" listing.  Only 5 of the 32 Veterans charities rated by AIP are included in the Top-Rated Category.

Because of their stringent review process, the AIP is described as "the pit bull of watchdogs" by the New York Times.  Newsweek said "It's the toughest of the bunch.  Because it disregards certain, potentially suspect, expenses and donations, it fails some nonprofits that the other raters approve."

These specially adapted homes help them meet the challenges they face every day - and will continue to face every day for the rest of their lives.
