About Us
Charity Navigator helps millions of people take action and support the
causes they care about by connecting them to the best charities that align with their passions and values.

Our mission is to make impactful giving easier for all

Since 2001, we've empowered millions of donors by providing free access to data,
tools, and resources to guide philanthropic decision-making.

With nearly 200,000 charities rated, our comprehensive ratings shine a light
on the cost-effectiveness and overall health of a charity’s programs, including measures of
stability, efficiency, and sustainability. The metrics inform donors of not just where their dollars
are going but what their dollars are doing.

Like the organizations we rate, we're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, too. We don't charge the
charities we evaluate, ensuring our ratings remain objective. In turn, we depend on the generosity
of individuals, foundations, and corporations to fund our programs.
