Accreditation offers a unique distinction and attests that an agency has met the highest level of services to all stakeholders, including clients, staff and board of directors, donors, funders and regulators. HeartShare is proud that nearly 90% of all revenue goes directly to its programs and services. HeartShare also is a BBB Accredited Charity.
