In September, Students For Liberty was awarded Charity Navigator’s highest 4-star rating for our commitment to financial health, accountability, and transparency. In awarding the designation, Charity Navigator writes that this distinction indicates that SFL “outperforms most other charities in America.” What’s more, “this exceptional designation from Charity Navigator sets Students For Liberty apart from its peers and demonstrates to the public its trustworthiness.” We hope you are pleased with your choice to support SFL knowing that we manage our organization in a way that is acknowledged for excellence.
Charity Navigator is America’s largest and most-utilized evaluator of charities. Since 2002, using objective, data-driven analysis, Charity Navigator has awarded only the most fiscally responsible organizations a four-star rating. In 2011, Charity Navigator added 17 metrics, focused on governance and ethical practices as well as measures of openness, to its ratings methodology. These “Accountability and Transparency” metrics, which account for 50 percent of a charity’s overall rating, reveal which charities have “best practices” that minimize the chance of unethical activities and whether they freely share basic information about their organization with their donors and stakeholders. We work hard to be the very best and are proud of this recognition.
We are proud to be part of this elite top tier of nonprofits; approximately only a quarter of rated charities have achieved this distinction! In addition, we have already secured a Top-Rated ranking from Great Nonprofits, Certified Transparent designation from Excellence in Giving, and a Platinum Seal of Transparency from Guidestar. As a donor, we hope this gives you confidence in our financial stewardship and knowing that every dollar is used as effectively as possible to reach our shared goals.
Building a freer future is a long-term endeavor. To be successful, we must bring our very best efforts to bear, year after year. SFL’s commitment to fiscal excellence is just another indication that we are well positioned to pursue and achieve long-term change.
When you give to Students For Liberty, you can feel secure knowing that you’re giving to one of the most responsible organizations in the United States.
