Governance and Ratings

Our Lady of Victory Renaissance Corporation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, making donations to the organization tax-deductible[2]. While it has received a Two-Star rating from Charity Navigator, the organization has been recognized for its effective allocation of resources toward its program expenses.

History

Although not directly founded by it, the project's roots are tied to the history of Our Lady of Victory Hospital, which was established in 1920 by Father Nelson Baker. After becoming part of Catholic Health, the facility was renovated into the Our Lady of Victory Senior Neighborhood in 2008, offering a range of services tailored to seniors[3]. The corporation itself was formally established in 2003[2].
