Home Missioners of America (HMA) does not meet the following Standard for Charity Accountability.

Standard 3: Frequency and Attendance of Board Meetings - An organization shall have a minimum of three evenly spaced meetings per year of the full governing body with a majority in attendance, with face-to-face participation. A conference call of the full board can substitute for one of the three meetings of the governing body. For all meetings, alternative modes of participation are acceptable for those with physical disabilities. HMA does not meet this Standard because: The organization held two board meetings during its 2010 fiscal year.

Home Missioners of America (HMA) meets the remaining 19 Standards for Charity Accountability.

HMA was founded in 1939 by Father William Howard Bishop to establish a Catholic Church presence in rural regions of the United States. The organization reports that its missioners help meet the spiritual and material needs of those living in Appalachia, the South, and the Southwest. HMA reports that 1.5 million people live within its mission territory in counties where poverty levels are at least twice the national average and a large percentage of the population claims no church affiliation. The organization reports that there are 173 counties in the southern United States without a Catholic Church community and 196 counties without a resident pastoral minister (priest, deacon, brother, sister or lay professional). HMA missioners strive to establish the Catholic Church in these areas and work ecumenically with other Christian churches to help meet the needs of all those living in a mission county, regardless of race, religion or cultural background.
