IJ Earns Charity Navigator’s Highest Rating For Fourth Consecutive Year

For the fourth consecutive year, the Institute for Justice has earned the highest rating from Charity Navigator, a nonprofit organization that evaluates the financial management and organizational efficiency of 3,900 charities across the country.

In recognizing the Institute, Charity Navigator said, “Receiving four out of a possible four stars indicates that your organization excels, as compared to other charities in America, in successfully managing the finances of your organization in an efficient and effective manner. This consistency in your rating is an exceptional feat, especially given the economic challenges many charities have had to face in the last year.”

Charity Navigator was founded in 2001 to help donors make informed decisions by providing information on, and evaluating the financial health of, the nation’s largest charities. It rates charities by evaluating two broad areas of financial health, organizational efficiency and organizational capacity, and then issues an overall rating that combines the charity’s performance in both areas. The information is provided free of charge on the organization’s website, www.charitynavigator.org.

The Institute for Justice works hard to put to good use each dollar we receive in support, and we’re honored to be recognized in this way.
