Surfing the web, as I am wont to do during my lunch (as if I didn’t stare at the screen enough during the day), I found a pretty awesome website called “Charity Navigator.” Charity Navigator is a service that grades various charities/non-profits so that you can better assess where to put your hard-earned money.
In an episode of complete coincidence, on the page today, one of the featured charities is none other than our own partner, Room to Read! As you can see, Room to Read has an excellent 4-star rating and (as I’m sure you know) is one of the highest ranked non-profits on the site (at a 66.58 out of 70, the best rated charity on the site, the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City, is at 69.86).
After looking at our partners, check out some other charities and feel free to post a comment about your favorite. In any event, this is truly a unique resource, and a fantastic one recognizing that charity and philanthropy, even on small levels, is a large enough industry that people need to be informed.
