Maynard, MA - Charity Navigator, America's premier evaluator of Non Profit Organizations (NPOs), announced January 3, 2006, that Earthwatch Institute has earned a 4-star rating for its ability to efficiently allocate and grow its finances.
Less than a quarter of NPOs rated by Charity Navigator receive this highest rating, indicating that Earthwatch Institute outperforms most charities in America in its efforts to operate in the most fiscally responsible way possible.
The New York Times, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, and National Public Radio, among others, have profiled and celebrated the Charity Navigator method of applying data-driven analysis. A statement from Charity Navigator concludes, "This 'exceptional' rating from Charity Navigator differentiates Earthwatch Institute from its peers and proves that it's worthy of the public's trust."
