Charity Navigator

Charity Navigator, America's premier independent charity evaluator, works to advance a more efficient and responsive philanthropic marketplace by evaluating the financial health of more than 5,400 of America's largest charities.

It rates charities by evaluating two broad areas of financial health, their organizational efficiency and their organizational capacity. Using a set of financial ratios or performance categories to rate each of these two areas, it issues an overall rating that combines the charity’s performance in both areas.

Ratings show givers how efficiently Charity Navigator believes a charity will use their support today, and to what extent the charities are growing their programs and services over time. Charity Navigator provides these ratings so that givers can make intelligent giving decisions, and so that the philanthropic community can more effectively monitor itself.
