Charity

Charity Navigator is a comprehensive research tool designed to help individuals find and support charities that align with their passions and values. It provides unbiased ratings for over 225,000 IRS-registered 501(c)(3) charities, leveraging data from the IRS, partners, and the charities themselves. The platform helps donors understand the cost-effectiveness, stability, efficiency, and sustainability of a charity's programs, ensuring their donations make a meaningful impact. Beyond ratings, Charity Navigator offers resources like giving guides, tools for maximizing donations, and curated lists of charities responding to current events. It also features a "Giving Basket" that allows users to donate to multiple charities in a single, convenient transaction while controlling personal information sharing. The platform is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit itself, committed to providing free access to its data and tools, and relies on support from individuals, foundations, and corporations.
