Year-End Giving Tips from Bill & Melinda Gates

Lots of generous folks are asking the well-known philanthropists Bill & Melinda Gates for tips on year-end donations. This year, the Gates decided to publish a blog post to address this very question. In it, they recommend a couple of charities including:

• 4-star charity: water
• 4-star DonorsChoose
• 3-star CARE

They also recommend that donors check Charity Navigator's professional ratings before giving. And they even included a blog post by our very own President & CEO which highlights our plans to expand our rating system to include information on each charity’s results reporting (which we call CN 3.0). 


As a 501 (c) (3) organization itself, Charity Navigator depends on public support to help donors make informed choices. Please consider investing in the future of Charity Navigator by making a donation today.  Donate now >>
