Founded in 2001, Charity Navigator is an independent organization that rates the financial operations of charities.
Rating system
Its rating system examines two broad areas of a charity's financial health -- how responsibly it functions day to day as well as how well positioned it is to sustain its programs over time. Each charity is then awarded an overall rating, ranging from zero to four stars. To help donors avoid becoming victims of mailing-list appeals, each charity's commitment to keeping donors' personal information confidential is assessed.
Funding and partnerships
It has specific partnerships with CNN, World Economic Forum, Foundation Source, and Network For Good. Its funding comes from philanthropic and news organizations; it does not accept money from any charity it rate.
