There are a number of rating sites out there, sometimes with conflicting information. What do you go to when you want to donate, especially when you want to look for a particular issue/crisis/disaster.

If I can improve my impact by taking a few minutes to research, it would be nice to have a place to go instead of googling "charity rating for ____"

www.charitynavigator.org

If you’re interested in a particular charity organization, you can look them up on Charity Navigator. They pull information from the charity’s IRS filings as well as their website to rate various aspects. They give a breakdown of things like the fraction of funds spent on administrative costs, privacy policies, fundraising efficiency, etc.

They also provide the contact information and website for the charity. This way you know you’re donating to the actual charity and not a scammer impersonating them.
