Press release from Blue Ridge Humane Society:
Blue Ridge Humane Society’s strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency have earned the 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent charity evaluator. The 4-star rating is the highest level awarded by Charity Navigator.
Since 2002, Charity Navigator has awarded only the most fiscally responsible organizations a 4-star rating. Charity Navigator is the largest charity evaluator in America and its website attracts more visitors than all other charity rating groups combined. The organization helps guide intelligent giving by evaluating the Financial Health and Accountability & Transparency of more than 9,000 charities. Charity Navigator accepts no advertising or donations from the organizations it evaluates, ensuring unbiased evaluations, nor does it charge the public for this trusted data.
“Two years ago, when I stepped into my role as Executive Director, one of my goals was to earn a four-star rating on Charity Navigator in order to demonstrate our commitment to transparency and accountability,” shares Angela Prodrick, Blue Ridge Humane Executive Director. “At Blue Ridge Humane Society, we make it a top priority to be responsible stewards of the resources our community so graciously donates to us. We pride ourselves on the fact that our neighbors can give to us with confidence, knowing that their gifts go directly to our lifesaving mission.”
“Blue Ridge Humane Society’s exceptional 4-star rating sets it apart from its peers and demonstrates its trustworthiness to the public,” according to Michael Thatcher, President & CEO of Charity Navigator. “Only a quarter of charities rated by Charity Navigator receive the distinction of our 4-star rating. This adds Blue Ridge Humane to a preeminent group of charities working to overcome our world’s most pressing challenges. Based on its 4-star rating, people can trust that their donations are going to a financially responsible and ethical charity when they decide to support Blue Ridge Humane.”
Blue Ridge Humane Society’s rating and other information about charitable giving are available free of charge on www.charitynavigator.org.
