Excellence in Giving

Excellence In Giving has named Meals From The Heart as a CERTIFIED TRANSPARENT organization.

Excellence in Giving is a full-service philanthropic advisory firm designed to increase the joy of the high-capacity donor through a personalized process of discovery, evaluation, participation, and celebration.


By evaluating nonprofits, Excellence in Giving helps donors ensure that their support go to vetted organizations that they can trust to be both responsible and effective with their funding.

Excellence in Giving recognizes Transparency when charities share more data about governance, finances, strategy, and impact than the IRS requires. Each recognized charity has submitted 175 data points about operations and performance for donors to review before making an informed giving decision.

Our Transparency Seal means we have disclosed the following:

  • Debt levels
  • Board involvement
  • Financial trends
  • Impact statistics
  • Strategic plans

The Transparency certification distinguishes a new breed of nonprofits committed to a higher standard of open and accountable relationships with donors.

Meals From The Heart has developed 120 corporate and community host relationships and over 40 distribution partnerships, resulting in over 6 million meals (more than 400 tons of food) distributed at no cost to the beneficiaries.
