Charity Rating Services
Charity Navigator is the largest independent charity watchdog in the U.S. The organization uses objective, data-driven analysis to rate organizations. A 4-star review “exceeds industry standards and outperforms most charities in its Cause.” A 3-star rating exceeds or meets industry standards and performs as well or better than those in the same category.
Give.org is the website of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Wise Giving Alliance. The site helps the public make informed decisions about charitable donations. The BBB WGA is not a charity-ranking service, “but rather, seeks to assist donors in making informed judgments about those that solicit their support.”
The American Institute of Philanthropy’s CharityWatch is an independent charity monitor. They also protect donors’ interests by exposing nonprofit abuses.
