Charity Navigator 4-Star Rating: Six Years of High Honors
We are proud to announce we have been honored with Charity Navigator’s coveted 4-star Charity Navigator rating for the sixth consecutive year! This is the highest rating a charity can receive.
Charity Navigator is the largest and most used charity evaluator in the country. The organization’s recently enhanced rating methodology looks at two broad areas of a charity’s performance: Financial Health and Accountability and Transparency. The new rating system, named CN 2.1, better captures a charity’s long-term capacity and financial health.
It’s an honor to receive this top rating for the sixth year. As a newly merged organization who works hard to ensure your trust, it’s important that we’re held accountable to the highest standard.
Thank you to our Board of Directors, Medical Scientific Advisory Committee and staff for making this accomplishment possible. We also want to give huge thanks to our wonderful community of survivors, caregivers, volunteers and supporters—we couldn’t do this without you. Together, we can knock colon cancer out!
