CharityWatch serves only the interests of the donating public—donors just like you. CharityWatch's ratings do not merely repeat what a charity reports about itself in its "impact" reports or tax filings using simplistic or automated formulas. They dive deep into a charity's audited financial statements, tax filings, state solicitation filings, and other information so they can let you know how efficiently a charity will use your donations to fund the programs you want to support. CharityWatch exposes nonprofit abuses and advocates for your interests as a donor.

 

Charities rated at 100 execute their missions in a fiscally responsible way while adhering to good governance and other best practices that minimize the chance of unethical activities. RIFSoCal has earned a perfect score in CharityWatch's Star Rating System for its Financial Health and its Accountability & Transparency. Less than one percent of the thousands of charities rated by Charity Navigator have earned perfect scores.   

 

Charity Navigator applauds these charities for exceeding industry standards and outperforming other organizations performing similar work.
