Charity Navigator

Please consider using Charity Navigator as your starting point for charitable donations.

“Charity Navigator, America’s premier independent charity evaluator, works to advance a more efficient and responsive philanthropic marketplace by evaluating the financial health of over 5,400 of America’s largest charities.”

The site provides top ten lists (of all different types), an A-Z guide, searches by category (animals, health, education, etc.), and even the salaries of the head organizers.

Charitable contributions are an investment of sorts.  Make sure your money is invested wisely.

Happy Giving!
