- Earned GuideStar Gold Seal Four Straight Years
- Received Charity Navigator 4-Star Rating for 2025
- Only Healthshare Ministry with Both Gold Seal and 4-Star Rating
CANTON, Ohio, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — For the fourth straight year, Liberty HealthShare® has been awarded the GuideStar Gold Seal by Candid, ranking it among the country’s best non-profit organizations for transparency and accountability.
The Gold Seal recognizes non-profits for sharing information about their finances, leadership, demographics, programs, organization, and mission. Less than two percent of the 1.8 million organizations included on Candid have earned a Gold Seal.
“We are pleased to have been recognized with the 2025 Gold Seal from Candid,” said Dorsey Morrow, Liberty HealthShare chief executive officer. “Combined with our 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, it demonstrates our commitment to accountability and operational excellence. We strive to be a good steward of our members’ contributions.”
Liberty HealthShare is the only healthshare ministry in the United States to hold both the GuideStar Gold Seal and Charity Navigator’s 4-Star rating.
Candid’s GuideStar rankings are the world’s largest source of information on non-profit organizations. Its mission is to revolutionize philanthropy by providing information that advances transparency, enables users to make better decisions, and encourages charitable giving. Candid was formed in 2019 when GuideStar and Foundation Center merged.
Charity Navigator reviews more than 200,000 non-profit organizations on their accountability and finance, impact and results, culture and community, and leadership and adaptability. Liberty HealthShare’s 90% score for 2025 is its highest rating ever.
Established in 1995, Liberty HealthShare provides a cost-effective, faith-based alternative to health insurance. Members enjoy the freedom to choose their own providers while participating in a compassionate, Christian community. Transparency and stewardship are central, with programs tailored for families, seniors, and individuals.
“While healthcare costs rise across the country, Liberty HealthShare is able to offer our members an alternative to insurance that provides greater value at lower costs,” said Morrow.
Liberty HealthShare offers six affordable medical cost sharing programs that are designed to fit the needs and budgets of individuals as well as different types and sizes of families. Suggested monthly share amounts for individuals range from $87–$369. Share amounts for families of four start at $319 per month. Most programs include access to both urgent care and mental wellness telehealth visits along with access to discounts for prescription drugs, dental care, vision care, and even LASIK surgery.
Liberty Dental, the ministry’s dental sharing program, features suggested monthly share amounts as low as $35 and allows members to see the dentist of their choice without any network restrictions.
As Liberty HealthShare is not insurance, enrollment is available year-round with no requirement for special life events to qualify. For more information about its sharing programs visit LibertyHealthShare.org or call (855) 585-4237.
Earlier this year, Liberty HealthShare established the Sharing Hearts Fund for Pediatric Wellness, a charitable arm of the ministry that seeks to provide support to Stark County, Ohio families with medical needs related to pediatric wellness.
Liberty HealthShare is a non-profit 501(c) (3) charitable Christian medical cost-sharing ministry focused on members helping each other in times of need. The faith-based program, which facilitates healthsharing for its members, is a caring community of health-conscious individuals and families who choose to support one another and agree to the Christian values of stewardship to make healthcare affordable for all.
Liberty HealthShare is not an insurance company nor is it offered through an insurance company. Liberty HealthShare’s Sharing Programs do not guarantee or promise that a member’s medical bills will be paid or assigned to others for payment. Whether anyone chooses to pay a member’s medical bills will be totally voluntary. As such, Liberty HealthShare’s Sharing Programs should never be considered as a substitute for an insurance policy. Whether a member receives any payments for medical expenses and whether or not Liberty HealthShare continues to operate, the member is always liable for any unpaid bills.
