Charity Navigator has been assessing charities for years. And it has only gotten better at what it does. It’s the “consumer reports” of charities. Charity Navigator rates charities on financial health, accountability, and transparency. Charities and NGOs receive one to four stars with four being the very best. As a donor, you can’t go wrong by sticking to the 3 and 4-star charities at Charity Navigator. We make sure that we donate to legitimate organisations and guide our members to donate to the right ones.

Whether you want to help clean up our oceans, invest in more sustainable fishing methods, or act for coral reefs to be there for future generations, there is a charity for you.
