Jewish Federation of Delaware has earned the highest ratings from the top three evaluators of nonprofits; a Four-Star Rating from Charity Navigator, a Platinum Seal of Transparency from GuideStar and a Top-Rated Award from Great Nonprofits. It is currently the only nonprofit in Delaware to earn the highest ratings from all three industry evaluators.
The Federation received its fifth consecutive Four-Star Rating from Charity Navigator, the nation’s largest evaluator of charities. Only 13 percent of evaluated charities have received at least five consecutive four-star evaluations indicating that Federation outperforms most other charities in America. The Jewish Federation is one of only eight four-star rated charities in Delaware and remain the highest-rated nonprofit in the First State earning a 96.79 score (out of 100).
Charity Navigator rates charities by evaluating two broad areas of performance; Financial Health and Accountability & Transparency.
The ratings show donors how efficiently a charity uses their support today, how well it has sustained its programs and services over time and their level of commitment to being accountable and transparent, a release stated.
Charity Navigator provides these ratings so that donors can make intelligent giving decisions, and so that the philanthropic community can be more effectively monitored. For more information, visit CharityNavigator.org.
