I would love to donate to smile train. Does anyone have any feedback about this organization?
Charity Navigator doesn't rate The Smile Train because it had been a private foundation. The IRS requires that private foundations file a Form 990-PF which differs from the document public charities file. This makes it impossible for us to compare the financial performance of private foundations to public charities. The Smile Train recently began filing the Form 990 as a public charity. However, we require 4 years of Forms 990 to complete an evaluation and The Smile Train has not yet completed this many filings as a public charity.
I have recently been solicited by the World Children's Fund http://www.worldchildrensfund.org , but could find no information on them.
Do you have any info?
