Concern Worldwide US
Tackling extreme poverty and hunger in the world's poorest and most fragile countries
Our editorial assessment
Concern Worldwide concentrates on the very poorest and most fragile countries, combining emergency humanitarian response with long-term work on hunger, health, and livelihoods. Its US arm channels support to a global organisation with deep field experience in hard places. Charity Navigator gives it a three-star rating, and it reports a strong program-expense ratio of roughly 93%. For donors focused on extreme poverty and crisis response in the toughest contexts, it is an efficient, experienced operator.
The problem they're solving
The deepest poverty and the worst humanitarian crises are increasingly concentrated in fragile and conflict-affected states that many organisations cannot reach. Concern Worldwide specialises in exactly these contexts, delivering both immediate relief and the longer-term programmes that help communities escape extreme poverty.
About Concern Worldwide US

How this score was produced
The GiveWise score is our own editorial assessment, produced with a weighted rubric covering program spending, transparency and governance, evidence of impact, cost-effectiveness, and leadership. It draws on publicly available reports from independent evaluators such as GiveWell, Charity Navigator, and CharityWatch, but it is not a rating issued or endorsed by any of those organisations.
