How is the Samaritan Guide different from other charity rating services?
The Samaritan Guide focuses on charities that rely on private monies rather than government funding. While it includes some basic financial information, it evaluates more holistically. It includes the role of faith and spirituality. Charities apply to the guide; Acton does not select them. Therefore, the size of charities rated also varies widely, from very large organizations to very small charities.
