How do charity rating services rate The Rotary Foundation?
As of 2008, there were more than 1.5 million charitable organizations registered in the United States doing work in a variety of religious, educational, and humanitarian disciplines. As the number of charitable organizations continues to grow, so does the potential for some of those charities to misappropriate funds solicited from a well-meaning public. Several charity watchdog organizations have formed as a service to the general public to evaluate charitable organizations and help donors make informed giving decisions.
