At First Book, we love good news! And we just got some great news from Charity Navigator, the nation’s leading charity evaluator. We’ve received a 4-Star rating for the third year in a row! Only 13% of the charities rated by Charity Navigator have received at least 3 consecutive 4-star evaluations. This rating indicates that we consistently execute our mission in a fiscally responsible way and that we outperform most other charities in America.
In a letter from Charity Navigator, President Ken Berger wrote, “This ‘exceptional’ designation from Charity Navigator differentiates First Book from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.”
Jane Robinson, our own CFO, said “We are particularly pleased to receive this 4-star rating as Charity Navigator is well-known for the rigor of its careful analysis of the financial stability and efficiency of the nation’s top nonprofits.”
Charity Navigator, which does not endorse nonprofits, uses an objective, numbers-based rating system to assess the financial health of more than 5,500 of America’s best-known charities. Last year alone, more than four million donors used the award-winning site.
