This CharityScorecard.org site was in use from 2006 to 2008, but is now mostly dormant, and the material here is out of date. The GiveWell project has similar goals and is being actively maintained. I've left the old CharityScorecard.org content here just for the historical record.

Old notes from early 2007

CFHI has compiled the following stastics based on reports submitted by our international partners. These reports are predicated on analyses that our medical teams send to us in the form of proposal submissions for "micro-grants" that CFHI has awarded annually from 2004 onwards.

Country / Population (# of people) Affected:

India, Virar / 119,000
India, Than Gaon / 5,000 
Ecuador, Puyo (Amazon) / 23,230
Mexico, Puerto Escondido / 18,300
Bolivia / 10,000
Chile / 1,000 for school program and 2,000 through medical supplies sent
South Africa / 5,000 through medical supplies

In 2006, CFHI sent 732 students to live and work overseas at our 14 partner sites. In addition, we sent $1.5 million in reclaimed and re-packaged donated medical supplies and equipment.

source: [12] for Recovery of Medical Supplies. source: [13] for student numbers.

Evidence for populations affected by CFHI grants and/or our fee-for-program model is contained in foundation reports, Combined Federal Campaign documents, and will be reflected in upcoming 990s and independent audits.
