About Charity Navigator
Charity Navigator is a free, web-based research platform that helps millions of donors discover and support nonprofits by providing unbiased, data-driven ratings on over 225,000 organizations. Its rigorous methodology evaluates each charity’s financial health, accountability, and transparency, measuring stability, efficiency, program cost-effectiveness, and sustainability, to show not just where dollars go but what they achieve. Donors can explore curated lists by cause, set up real-time alerts for rating changes, and use interactive tools like the Giving Basket to fund multiple charities in a single checkout while controlling how much information is shared. Aggregating data from IRS filings, partner organizations, and charity submissions, the platform powers comprehensive dashboards and educational guides on effective giving, enabling side-by-side comparisons, personalized recommendations, and in-depth insights without charge.
