We are also proud to share with our community that our Charity Navigator Rating has been upgraded to

4-Stars

the first such rating for our organization! Four stars is the highest rating an organization can achieve. The score is based on our recently submitted IRS form 990 and is a three-year average of our financial performance.

Charity Navigator is the world’s largest and most-utilized independent evaluator of U.S.-based charitable organizations. Established in 2001, it provides free access to data, tools, and resources, rating over 225,000 charities to guide informed philanthropic decisions. Its comprehensive ratings assess financial health, accountability, transparency, and results reporting, enabling donors to understand how effectively charities use their support. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Charity Navigator maintains objectivity by not accepting advertising or donations from the organizations it evaluates, relying instead on individual, foundation, and corporate contributions to fund its operations.
