Our Holiday Gift To You7,000 Charity Ratings!

We launched Charity Navigator in 2002 with 1,100 charity ratings - instantly making us the largest, independent charity rating service in America. Within ten years, we grew that number to 5,500. Now, just in time for the traditional year-end charitable giving season, we've expanded to 7,000 charity ratings. We hope you'll find all this additional analysis helpful as you determine which charities to support this holiday season.
