The Conservation Foundation has received a four-star rating from Charity Navigator, a non-profit corporation that evaluates U.S. charities for sound fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency.
The four-star rating is the highest possible designated by Charity Navigator and demonstrates to the public that The Conservation Foundation is worthy of a donor’s trust.
The Conservation Foundation outperforms most other charities evaluated in America, and received a score of 100 in the area of accountability and transparency.
TCF President/CEO Brook McDonald said having strong financial management practices is very important, but the organization is very proud of its transparency and high governance rating.
“In the end, it is our mission impact that makes us effective, along with the dedication and commitment of our staff and board,” McDonald said. “We’re honored that Charity Navigator recognizes that.”
With so much competition from other charities, a four-star rating provides donors with confidence that their hard-earned dollars are being well-spent by a reputable organization.
Details of TCF’s four-star rating can be found at the Charity Navigator website.
The Conservation Foundation is one of the region’s largest and oldest private conservation organizations, with more than 4,000 members and donors, and more than 500 volunteers who contribute 20,000 hours per year.
