Penny Appeal USA utilizes a range of monitoring and evaluation tools to measure the impact of our programs. Our trained program and finance staff ensure all funds are properly allocated and spent as well undertaking impact assessments to measure the success of these programs in bringing families and communities out of poverty.

Penny Appeal USA now has a national presence. As well as a growing team of staff, we have hundreds of volunteers all over the country and have a growing number of Penny Appeal chapters on US campuses. To date, over 50,000 Americans have supported our efforts with their generous donations. We have recently joined alliances like InterAction and the Alliance to End Hunger and are working with a range of US partners on both domestic and international programs. We will continue to focus on the quality of our programs while joining those organizations advocating for structural changes to prevent global wealth inequality.
