Charity Navigator Ranks IJ Among Most Elite

The nation’s largest and most-utilized evaluator of charities, Charity Navigator, recently rated IJ as #3 on their list of top 10 charities with the most consecutive 4-Star ratings. This means that even among the small handful of elite institutions that earned the most consecutive 4-star ratings from Charity Navigator, IJ is one of the top performers.

This summer, for the 11th consecutive year, IJ earned the group’s coveted 4-star rating for sound fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency. Less than one percent of the charities rated have received at least 11 consecutive 4-star evaluations, underscoring that IJ consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way and, according to Charity Navigator, is “well-positioned to pursue and achieve long-term change.”

Many thanks for making this work possible!

Three of Doreen’s daughters have Fanconi anemia, a serious genetic disorder whose sufferers often need a bone marrow transplant in their teens. Thanks to IJ’s victory, those needing bone marrow transplants may soon find it easier to secure a match.
