What we checked, and what remains uncertain

Minimum public-source checks passed on 2026-10-05: named identity, official presence, recent reported activity and an authorized giving route with an identifiable recipient.

Minimum public-source checks only. Identity and programme results may be organization-authored. Live registry standing, bank ownership, payment settlement, use of an individual gift and field outcomes were not independently audited. No payment made. Country evidence describes its stated reporting period, not guaranteed delivery today. This entry represents one movement, not a separate count for every fundraising member.

Official US homepage describes Good Neighbors USA as a registered US 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Its giving form names Good Neighbors USA as the authorized receiving entity; current IRS standing not independently checked.
