A Lot Has Changed In The Last 13 Years

Charity Navigator Website in 2002

Since launching our donor service on April 15, 2002, we've helped millions of donors make responsible and informed charitable decisions. During that time we've grown from 1,100 charity ratings to more than 8,000. We've also expanded our charity rating methodology, increased our member benefits, improved our search tools and much, much more.

As we celebrate our 13th birthday, we want to thank the millions of Americans that use our data to make informed giving decisions and the tens of thousands of donors who help support our continued existence.
