CharityWatch—founded in 1992 as the American Institute of Philanthropy—is the only independent charity watchdog in the United States. Charity trade associations issue ratings of charities that are primarily designed to serve the interests of charities, not donors like you. They do this by repeating a
nd/or repackaging charities' self-reported financial and "impact" data, amplifying charities' fundraising and marketing strategies in the process. CharityWatch serves only the interests of the donating public—donors just like you. CharityWatch's ratings do not merely repeat what a charity reports about itself in its "impact" reports or tax filings using simplistic or automated formulas. We dive deep into charity audited financial statements, tax filings, state solicitation filings, and other information so we can let you know how efficiently a charity will use your donations to fund the programs you want to support. CharityWatch exposes nonprofit abuses and advocates for your interests as a donor. Mission
The mission of CharityWatch, a nonprofit charity watchdog and rating organization, is to maximize the effectiveness of every dollar contributed to charity by providing donors with the information they need to make more informed and intelligent giving decisions.
